Japanese Officer’s Shin Gunto

This replica of a Japanese Officers Shin Gunto sword has a tempered blade of high carbon steel; the habaki, tsuba and hilt fittings are brass , the seppa is copper and the grip is wood with a leather cord grip wrap. The sword features a simple locking mechanism to keep the sword locked into its scabbard. The sword is paired with a steel scabbard with a brass hanging ring. While many Shin Gunto had mass-produced grips of cast metal, this reproduction replicates the higher quality Shin Gunto with finer fittings and grips with genuine cord wrap.
