Description
World War 2 Japanese Shin Gunto military katana sword with scabbard and original knot loop. Nakago (tang) is marked with sword smiths name, Yoshichika. The remaining side of the nakago (tang) bears the date (Loosely translating to "A Lucky Day In October 1936"). Still retains its original sarute.
Blade is forged in the Shinogi-Zukuri style with a ridge line. Blade has been hand forged and water quenched, making the cutting edge very hard and the upper part of the blade softer for flexibility. This sword would have been carried by a commissioned officer ranked LT. or higher.
Blade measures 27" in length. Overall length is 38.5"
