Officer Gunto For Opinions - Antique?
My first Japanese sword, an officer gunto.
The blade was covered in grease (As in my last post). I very carefully cleaned it. The blade has some old pitting and is not in my ideal condition but I am still very happy with it and it displays nicely. The tang does not appear to be signed but a small mark could perhaps go unnoticed? This weapon is still quite sharp and the cutting edge starts at the Habaki. The cutting blade is just over 26 ” and the whole gunto is just under 36” long.
