Sakabatō "Rurouni Kenshin" | Clay Tempered Manganese Steel Reverse-Blade Sword

A sword born from an oath, this is a faithful tribute to the legendary Sakabatō (Reverse-Blade Sword) of Himura Kenshin from the iconic anime, Rurouni Kenshin. Unlike any other katana, its edge is forged on the inner curve, a testament to the swordsman's vow to never kill again. This is not just a weapon, but a profound symbol of peace and atonement. Crafted from tough, clay-tempered high manganese steel, this blade embodies the spirit of the wanderer who fights to protect, not to destroy.

Why Choose This Sakabatō?

• The Legendary Sakabatō: A Faithful Replica: This is a faithful recreation of one of the most famous swords in anime history. The unique reverse-blade design, with the cutting edge on the concave side, is instantly recognizable to any fan and embodies the core philosophy of its wielder.
• Durable Clay-Tempered Manganese Steel: Forged from high manganese steel, known for its exceptional toughness and abrasion resistance. The blade is then clay-tempered to produce a genuine hamon (temper line), resulting in a hard edge for non-lethal strikes and a resilient spine.
• Authentic & Traditional Handle: The tsuka (handle) is traditionally constructed with a hardwood core, a full wrap of white genuine rayskin (samegawa), and a tight binding of tan/light brown ito (cord), ensuring an authentic look and a secure grip.
• The Ultimate Piece for "Rurouni Kenshin" Fans: This isn't just a sword; it's a piece of anime history. For collectors, cosplayers, and fans of the series, owning a battle-ready replica of Kenshin's Sakabatō is the ultimate tribute.
