Original World War II Imperial Japanese Navy Officer's Katana, Officially Known as a Type 97 Kai-Gunto
- Dual Suspension Rings (Ashi): The black scabbard (saya) features two hanging loops. This distinguishes it from Imperial Army swords (Shin-Gunto), which typically utilize only a single suspension ring.
- Hilt Assembly (Tsuka): The handle retains its traditional dark brown or black cord wrap (ito) over ray skin (same).
- The pommel cap (kashira) features a loop meant for an officer's tassel.
- Hand Guard (Tsuba): The sword utilizes a rounded, dark metal or blackened brass guard, distinct from the elaborate floral-shaped brass guards found on army variations.
- Scabbard Finish: The scabbard is traditionally black lacquered wood or covered in polished black ray skin/sharkskin
