Ooitame Posted August 27, 2022 Report Posted August 27, 2022 Ok, this might be an easy answer, but why are not shin gunto swords considered Tachi. Length, sori, sugata, kissaki, mei side, intended use? I ask as they are mounted Tachi style, some with longer length, Tachi mei, good sori, sugata, and kissaki, not sure of cavalry swords vs std RJT... or if they had issued cavalry swords during WWII or they used std issue.

ROKUJURO Posted August 27, 2022 Report Posted August 27, 2022 CAVALRY (not calvary, that is something different) swords, yes, originally. They are indeed TACHI if signed so. 1 Quote
David Flynn Posted August 28, 2022 Report Posted August 28, 2022 A large part also depends on the mounting. So a Shingunto with a blade signed Tachi Mei, is still a Shingunto. 1 Quote
