They first began production in 1938, one year after the copper handles were introduced with the initial release of the type95 gunto,

This was the all new replacement for the type32 OTSU sword which was used by all NCO's except cavalry NCO officers. (cavalry used the longer KO version of the type32, which continued to be used and produced until 1945).
