The Type 98 Japanese Military Sword, also known as Gunto, saw different versions during World War II, depending on Japan's economy. Some versions, referred to as "Ka" or "Nagahiro" had special mei inscriptions, while others didn't and were mass-produced. The latter were made later in the war when the quality of Gunto swords declined. The swords came with iron or mainly aluminum sheaths with leather wraps. Kamikaze soldiers often carried these blades before launching their attacks.
