Soul‑Type‑98‑Saber – WWII Shin‑Gunto Officer Historical Reproduction Saber

Product Introduction

The Soul‑Type‑98‑Saber is WWII‑era historical reproduction Shin‑Gunto imperial officer military saber, fully differentiated from command ceremonial saber, shirasaya purist swords, gothic‑fantasy, floral‑art, cosmic‑nebula and anime‑character‑themed replica swords. This military‑heritage‑oriented collectible features premium T10 high‑carbon steel blade with traditional tsuchioki clay‑differential‑tempering generating authentic suguha straight hamon temper‑line. It is equipped with period‑accurate vintage aged‑effect floral‑pattern brass Shin‑Gunto military mounting hardware, orange‑brown moro‑hineri ito wrapped tsuka with genuine ray‑fish samekawa inner lining, solid hardwood scabbard finished with realistic brown faux‑leather texture coating, fitted with original‑style military hanging‑ring hardware and brown braided officer‑tassel sageo cord. Target audiences include WWII‑era imperial military‑artifact collectors, shin‑gunto heritage‑theme interior‑decor enthusiasts, historical‑reproduction‑shelf‑display and distinctive military‑heritage‑style decorative‑gift buyers.

The blade adopts premium T10 high‑carbon steel with traditional tsuchioki clay‑differential temper‑treatment, forming authentic clean suguha straight hamon temper‑line. Modified shin‑gunto military‑saber blade geometry without blood‑groove hi, subtle embossed yokote dividing‑line, period‑authentic shin‑gunto‑style kissaki tip and factory light‑sharp finish. Hamon temper‑line and polished blade surface scratch easily; only static historical‑theme display and photo‑shooting are allowed. Heavy chopping and violent impact must be strictly prohibited to preserve military‑reproduction collectible surface condition.

Complete mounting‑hardware set uses period‑faithful vintage aged‑effect floral‑pattern brass shin‑gunto military‑spec fittings, floral‑decorated round tsuba, matching‑pattern fuchi & kashira with tassel‑mount ring, small floral‑shape brass menuki ornaments and solid‑brass habaki plus brass‑alloy seppa washers. Tsuka grip uses genuine natural ray‑fish samekawa inner lining wrapped with durable orange‑brown moro‑hineri cotton ito. Scabbard is solid hardwood finished with realistic brown faux‑leather texture coating, equipped with authentic shin‑gunto brass hanging‑ring, koiguchi and kojiri end‑cap hardware; matched traditional brown braided military‑officer tassel sageo cord with brass‑ring clasp. Two natural bamboo mekugi pegs build fully‑removable full‑tang construction for blade inspection and regular anti‑rust maintenance.
