The Rurouni Kenshin Reverse Blade Katana is 40 inches with a 29-inch reverse edged blade. In the story, Kenshin grieves because of the lives he has taken. He vows to not kill again, and then he trades his katana and wakizashi in for a reverse-bladed sword. The sword he gets is a sakabato, which was traded to him by Shakku, a master swordsman.
The Sakabato blade is made of thick carbon steel. It has a sharpened recourse edge. The high-quality guard is glossy block lacquered scabbard with real ray skin and a tightly wrapped black nylon handle. You can disassemble this sword for cleaning or storage. Two bamboo pegs provide total control of the full tang blade. The sharp reversible blade is especially dangerous. Only experienced swordspeople should use this weapon. Be careful when opening and handling the sword. The overall length of the sword is 41 inches, with a 27.5-inch blade. The handle is made from hardwood red oak. The handle wrap consists of nylon and ray skin. The weapon is stored in a cotton katana bag.
The Rurouni Kenshin 42-inch Katana Reverse Blade Sword has a blade edge on the inside curve. This feature allows the user to vary his technique. An immediate counter strike and short blade slashes are easier with the positioning of the blade. You can also use this sword to practice limb attacks, as the blade is shaped closely to the angle of limbs. The blade is a 440 stainless-steel grade with hamon at the edge. The scabbard features a black gloss finish. Black nylon sage-o is wrapped around the top half, ending at a steel scabbard throat. A golden Japanese "kanji" is painted on the scabbard, representing "Strength." The sword guard is solid steel with a steel blade collar that has the Japanese "kanji" also printed on it. The rat tang handle is made from imitation ray skin that is covered with black nylon wrap on top of two steel dragons. A silver steel pommel is located at the end of the handle.
