Japanese Type 94 Shin-Gunto Samurai Sword

Axis Powers > Japanese > Edged Weapons >

Well you won't find a better price for one of these! The slightly curved, 25 3/4 inch long, unfullered, machine made blade on this one is rough. It has a tight fit. The blade rates VG. It shows heavy pitting throughout, large nicks out of the cutting edge and heavy surface scractches where someone has likely tried to clean it. The scabbard is steel (exterior) and wood (interior) based and has been brown painted with copper fittings. It retains 95% paint coverage. It has a dent to the lower portion. The scabbard is secured to the hilt with the push button locking mechanism. The Tsuba is constructed out of a multi-piece copper base. The grip is wood based and covered in a ray skin and interwoven brown cloth. The saru-te is missing. Cheap!
