Is the Kyu Gunto sword as strong in cutting power and blade strength as the katana?

It depends on what blade is in the mounts. A traditionally forged Blade or a Murata-To (late 19th/ early 20th. century oil quenched blade made of European Steel) will have more power than a simple machine made blade that is simply stamped out of milled steel. A lot of Kyu Gunto also have ancestral blades. Of course there are also dress sabers known as Shikito which have thin chrome plated machine made blades. These weren't made for combat.

The Kyu Gunto sword is not as strong in cutting power and blade strength as the katana. The katana is renowned for its sharpness and cutting ability due to its unique curvature and differential hardening technique. The Kyu Gunto, while a functional military sword, was not primarily designed for cutting and has a less refined construction compared to the katana.

What did Marines take as souvenirs from Japanese soldiers?
A katana, kyu gunto, or shin gunto Sword was the most desirable battlefield momento.A Type 4 or Type 14 Nambu semi automatic pistol was a choice find.A Type 94 automatic looked like hunk of junk, but was prized for its smaller size.The C96 German Mauser with stock drew a premium price.The Type 26 Revolver was a rare find.The Type 44 Cavalry Rifle and Type 97 Sniper rifle were prized but most would be forced to pick up the high production Type 38 all by Arisaka.Some contented themselves with the ghoulish practice of collecting gold teeth.

What was the invention that ended the use of swords in combat?
You could basically say that most armies stopped using swords in combat during ww1 because they were useless against machine guns. However, some armies used swords up until WW2 and even beyond. The Japanese used various types of Shin Gunto, Kai Gunto and Kyu Gunto until 1945. Most were non traditionally made, some patterns were exclusively machine made (Parade Sabers, Cavalry Sabers and NCO swords) while the Officers swords could have a traditional blade. In some cases even antique blades and custom made mounts were used. The Polish Ulan Cavalry used the 1934 Pattern Cavalry saber (and the lance) up until 1939/40. The Soviets used the M1927 Cavalry Trooper Shashka and the Cavalry Officer Shashka. They were in fact used up until 1956after which they were put back into the arsenals. The Chinese used the Dadao (Big Saber) during the 1930s and 1940s during the Second Sino-Japanese War. In Fact I heard Rumors that they are still used by some units even today. In 1965 the Chinese introduced the Type 65 Cavalry Trooper Saber. It is still used today. The US introduced the 1917 Pattern Naval Cutlass which was used up until the 1940s. A USMC NCO is rumored to have killed an Enemy with such a cutlass during the incheon Landing in 1950. Also swords are still used by insurgents in various conflicts such as the Moro in the Philippines and the anti Ghaddafi Forces in Lybia. It would't surprise me if they are also used during the Syrian Civil War.
