Hand Forged Rurouni Kenshin Reverse Blade Sword Sakabato Katana Description:

Reverse-edged (sakabato) katana did not historically exist in Japan. It was an idea that was popularized in the anime by the character Rurouni Kenshin who used a reversed-edged sword to avoid killing his opponents.
This sakabato is made of 1095 high carbon steel, full tang. The tsuba, fuchi, kashira and menuki is made of brass. The tsuka is made of hardwood with genuine rayskin and synthetic silk ito.

The reversed blade, or sakabato, is a unique and symbolic design inspired by the legendary anime Rurouni Kenshin. Unlike traditional katanas, this reverse blade sword flips the sharp edge, embodying Kenshin's vow to protect life rather than take it. Though not a historical artifact, its high-quality craftsmanship ensures it stands as a striking homage to the philosophy of pacifism intertwined with martial prowess.

Crafted from 1095 high carbon steel, this sword offers exceptional durability and sharpness while staying true to its reverse blade design. Its full tang construction ensures reliability and balance, making it as functional as it is iconic. The brass fittings, including the tsuba, fuchi, kashira, and menuki, add elegance and authenticity, perfectly complementing the genuine rayskin and synthetic silk ito on the tsuka.

Whether for collectors, enthusiasts, or fans of Rurouni Kenshin, this high-quality sakabato is more than a replica—it's a symbol of honor, discipline, and the resolve to uphold one’s ideals without sacrificing integrity.
