Sakabato Katana Sword

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 through-hardened 1095 steel with wire-brushed hamon. The tsuba, fuchi, kashira and menuki is made of brass and depicts a hawk or an eagle. The tsuka is made of hardwood with red, rayskin panels and blue, synthetic silk ito. The saya is made of hardwood with clear, lacquer paint making the wood grain visible.

This hand-forged Rurouni Kenshin Sakabato Katana, crafted from 1095 steel, features a unique reverse edge sharp design with a full tang construction, embodying traditional Japanese craftsmanship and inspired by the iconic sword from the legendary anime.

Notes for the Sakabato Rurouni Kenshin Katana:

  1. The display stand and packing box aren't includ.
  2. Our products are 100% handmade, so specification varies slightly from sword to sword. We appreciate your understanding.
  3. All our katana swords are hand forged by swordsmiths,  the forging time about 7-15 days. For some high-performance swords may require longer hand forged processing time, depending on the difficulty of the craft.
