    Japanese Sword kai gunto sword sarute clasped hands

    Hi All,

    Is it true that sarute with clasped hands are meant for WW2 japanese Navy swords only and the army sword sarute are usually the one with the cherry blossoms designs?

    or clasped hands sarutes and cherry blossom designs are found on both types of swords?

    appreciate any clarifications/ comments!

        They are on both army and naval mounted swords.

          I may be wrong but regadless of navy or army the sarute with clasped hands (sarute, by the way means "monkey's hands"), seem to be the more high quality variation seen on the earlier guntos.

            HI All thank you for your comments

            Edokko, The designs looks human shaking hands ha!

            maybe the earlier sarutes were ALL made with the clasped hands design but during the later war years they made a second variation with cherry blossoms but the name sarute continued to be used!

              Ian, Sarute is actually a generic name given to that loop attached to the handle end piece (called Kabutogane) and has been used since ancient times when the first Tachi style came about.
