There was a really interesting video put up by someone recently where a modern swordsmith is interviewed and he claims those upturned hilts were phallic.

Hi Tony, what a extraordinary example. Are there any markings on the Koshirae?

hi only the equipment

The 94s with arsenal 造兵廠 blades had more curve to the hilt compared to other 94s.  Not sure why this was.  An example can be seen via the link below.  Not sure what is going on with the one above though.

Help with sword

I suspect it was a custom order. I don’t remember where I read it, but I once read about a general who specifically requested such a curvature in the tsuka.
