Looking at the Type 95 Guntō from a distance, it may not be obvious at first glance that it is different from the Type 94 Guntō. However, upon closer inspection, you can see that the handle of the Type 95 Guntō is actually made of aluminum material, and is only shaped into the shape of a Japanese sword handle with patterns. Different colors are even applied to different parts (the original Type 95 Guntō handle was made of copper, not painted, but oxidized), making it even harder to distinguish from a distance.
