A modern reproduction of a Second World War Japanese gunto, the military sword pattern of that period. The blade measures 24 7/8 inches and shows an acid-etched hamon rather than a true differential temper line. It is sold as used. The supplier gives no detail on the mounts, scabbard or steel, so take the description at face value and ask for photographs of the whole sword before ordering.
For a South Carolina buyer this is a display and reenactment piece rather than a collector's antique, and it is described plainly as a reproduction. It fills the gap in a World War II Pacific display where an original gunto is out of reach, and it suits a theater group or living-history unit that needs the look without putting an original at risk. Treat the acid-etched hamon as decoration; it is not a sign of traditional forging, and the sword should not be represented as period.
