FAQs

Shin Gunto, translating to new military sword, was the official sidearm style commissioned for officers of the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces during the mid-twentieth century.

These swords typically incorporate forged steel blades, brass tsuba handguards, ray skin tsuka handles wrapped in woven braid, and painted metal scabbards designed for battlefield conditions.

Authentic military swords usually feature standardized brass mountings, military inspectors stamps, tang markings under the handle, and functional retaining catches on the scabbard.

A military sword can be mounted horizontally on a dedicated wooden display stand or secured within a custom glazed shadow box wall mount.

Steel blades require periodic coating with mineral oil or choji oil to prevent oxidisation, while painted metal scabbards should be kept dry and free from abrasive cleaners.
