OLD FAMILY BLADE—Russo-Japanese/WW2 Samurai Katana Sword -Antique Kyu-Gunto
OLD FAMILY BLADE—Russo-Japanese/WW2 Samurai Katana Sword -Antique Kyu-Gunto
$0
1 antique traditionally-made Russo-Japanese/World War II Japanese Kyu-gunto Army Samurai sword available. This sword has an old family blade from Samurai times. A kyu-gunto katana would make a rare, and important addition to any collection.
The sword blade was made in the mid-late 1500’s A.D. The blade is signed ‘Bizen kuni ju Osafune Sukesada‘. The nakago is also dated. The blade was carried during ancient times by true Samurai. The blade measures 26 1/2″ (67.3 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. There are 2 holes in the tang.
The habaki is carved on one side with the images of mice (which are carved more intricately than can be seen in the photos–the hair on each mouse is carved in in fine detail). The reverse side of the habaki has a form of plant carved into it. Interestingly, the maker of the sword’s Army fittings has its name stamped into the guard.
This sword has a longer kissaki than normal–the kissaki measures 1 3/4″.

RARE VARIATION Japanese WW2 Naval Dirk -Sword Samurai -SHARKSKIN Saya -Navy Dagger
$0
1 desirable World War II Japanese Navy Officer’s dirk available. This fine Naval dirk has a premium sharkskin saya (scabbard), and rare fittings. This WWII Japanese Naval Officer’s dirk, with its rare variation fittings, would make an important addition to any collection.
Normally the fuchi is plain–the dirk in this listing has a cherry blossom in relief. Additionally, note the different patterns on the saya/scabbard throat and saya drag. This WW2 Japanese Naval Officer’s Dirk is very difficult to find.
This dirk measures 13 1/2″ overall. The blade itself measures 8 9/16″ (as measured properly from blade tip to the bottom of the notch in the habaki).
The handle has a wire-wrapped same/rayskin grip. I have not had the handle off–the threads are super tight, and I can’t get them loose without damaging the cherry blossoms.

1 rare WW2 Japanese Army Officer’s gendai sword available. This is a fine sword with a super cool signature. The art name the swordsmith chose for himself has a double-meaning–the first character is Kazu (or ichi for first or best). The second character is actually two characters combined into one–the characters for ‘Samurai’ and ‘sword’–thus “Best Samurai Sword“. This premium handmade WW II Japanese katana would make an important addition to any collection.
This sword is for the blade only. There is no habaki. Above the signature is the star stamp. The reverse side of the nakago is dated.
This fine sword measures 24 9/16″ (62.4 cm) (measured properly from the blade tip to the notch in the blade spine). Nie are present in the entire hamon.
