Sakabatou Kenshin Samurai X – Inverted Blade

The Sakabatou of Kenshin is a symbol of redemption and pacifism, inspired by the legendary swordsman Kenshin Himura from the anime Samurai X. This unique sword represents Kenshin's promise to redeem himself from the past by protecting life, using an inverted blade to strike without cutting. Every detail of this Sakabatou captures the essence of the samurai's way that seeks to protect the weak, making it a perfect choice for those who value honor and justice.

Description:

Apparently identical to a common katana, the Sakabatou differs in that its cutting edge is on the inner side of the blade, unlike traditional katanas. This allows it to strike without cutting deeply, symbolizing Kenshin Himura's promise to use the sword for good. Hand-forged and polished with 12 different procedures, the Kenshin Sakabatou is a work of art that combines tradition and purpose.

The blade of the Kenshin Sakabatou is hand-forged and polished with 12 different procedures, using high-purity carbon steel. This millennia-old process ensures a sharp, durable, and visually impressive blade, symbolizing the pure intentions of the warrior wielding it.

Tsuba:

Located above the saya, the tsuba of this sword is ornate and crafted through metal fusion. It serves to protect the user's hand from sliding onto the blade during practice.
