Hi Geoff:

Welcome. I hope you enjoy NMB.

Word to the wise that this first post of yours should be in "Wanted" section.

Willing to pay $150.00 (USD) or more for a nice (original) sarute.

I do not believe there is a specific type of Sarute for the Kai Gunto, they seem to use similar types to the Shin Gunto with the only difference being colour/plating styles. The only Kai Gunto exclusive Sarute I have noticed is the large cord type like below:

Thanks for the suggestions guys! As a newbie, I have much to learn, including on the Sarute topic. And, yes, I've learned that the braided cord sarute was not uncommon for the Type 97. So, here's my cost-effective solution ($2.99 USD - with plenty of cord left if needed for future Kai Guntos - thank you Hobby Lobby!). I'm quite satisfied with the look. I'll probably add a tassel at some point.
