The Sakabatō is designed as a simple katana with its blade forged on the opposite side than normal, making it a sword ill-fit for killing. Features of the blade have it depicted as a shinto era katana, and its hamon in an extremely rare recreated hitatsura notare midare on both sides of the blade, making it hard to differentiate the cutting edge from afar. Its fittings are humble and simple, but vary upon depictions throughout.
Forged as a holy sword, the last of Arai Shakkū's blades were made in offering to honor the new peace that the Meiji Era would bring, and for him and its wielder, the end of his career of creating weapons for violence and death, and for Kenshin, the end of his days as a hitokiri, and the promise to never take another human life again.
TrueKatana Team, I'm very happy with this blade for the most part. The only shortfall was the blackened side of the blade. The color was inconsistent across the surface of the blade, and a lot of it came off once I wiped the blade with a dry cloth (the cloth turned black). I would've rated it five stars otherwise. The blade itself was superior! Very straight and sharp. The craftsmanship and quality of the handle and scabbard were also outstanding. No noticeable flaws at all. Overall, great job! I would recommend you to anyone looking for a similar blade. Thank you.

This was a Christmas present for a young man that is starting a collection. This was the first of many I feel. He loved it and so did his siblings and everyone at the gathering. I have a feeling he will become a frequent shopper. :)

Handmade Japanese Katana Sword With Waves And Fish Style Tsuba |
The blade was very dull when I got it. It looks like it was made to have an edge, but I can slide the blade over my skin and it doesn’t leave even the slightest mark. I bought this thinking it would be an authentic, very sharp sword and not a fake replica. I am happy with it overall, but the blade was NOT as advertised.
