This video explores the Japanese Type 95 Shin Gunto sword, a historical military blade. It details the sword's evolution from Western-influenced designs in the late 1800s to a return to traditional katana styles driven by nationalist sentiment in the 1930s. The Type 95, along with its NCO counterpart the Type 35, became common after WWII as bring-back souvenirs. The video uses the upcoming Headstamp book "Swords of the Emperor" as a reference for examining this specific example.
