AikiScott1 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I am looking for a set of original Kai Gunto koshirae with same covered saya. The dimensions of the blade I had in mind for this koshirae are as follows: nagasa: 27.5 inches (70 cm), Tori Sori 5/8 inches (1.5 cm), motohaba 1 & 1/8 inches (3 cm), sakihaba 7/8 inches (2 cm), motogasane 1/4 inch ( 3/4 cm), sakigasane 7/32 inches (1/2 cm), and nakago length 7 inches (18 cm). I am looking to spend around $700 but would pay more for a set with family mon. Thank you and have a great day.---Scott M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AikiScott1 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 It is very nice, but the sori is too deep for my blade.--Scott M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabowen Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 It is very unusual to find any WWII era blade at 27.5", never mind a navy mounted blade as they tend to be shorter in general. Matching a blade to a saya is also extremely difficult. Trying to accomplish both may be a nearly impossible task. You would have much better luck just having a new saya made using the fittings from a kaigunto koshirae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
