User blog comment:The Humaniod Typhoon/Gandhi uses the Kitetsu?/@comment-3986064-20120125135407

The handle looks to me almost identical so it might be more than a possibility.

It was stated that Shodai Kitetsu is a Saijo O Wazamono sword, one of the 12 best swords in the world, on the same level as Mihawk's sword, so why would he not have it?

I say you got a really nice observation there.

Damn Oda being able to add such SMALL DETAILS TO HIS MANGA!!!
