Product Details
This sakabato katana pays tribute to the iconic reverse-blade sword from Rurouni Kenshin. The 28.5-inch blade is hand-forged from 1000-layer folded steel, producing a striking layered grain pattern visible along the surface. Heat-treated to 58 HRC, the folded steel delivers both hardness and flexibility. The reverse-edge design sets this piece apart from standard katana, faithfully replicating the signature detail of Kenshin Himura's legendary sword.
The 10.25-inch tsuka is built on a hardwood core and covered in PU white samegawa, then tightly wrapped with black cotton cord in a traditional diamond pattern. This combination provides a secure hold while maintaining the clean black-and-white aesthetic visible from pommel to guard. The full tang blade extends through the entire handle, secured with a mekugi pin.
At the junction of blade and handle sits an openwork alloy tsuba with a dark iron-tone finish and organic cutout motifs. A gold-tone habaki collar ring adds a warm accent that contrasts with the darker fittings, giving the guard area a layered, detailed look that rewards close inspection.

The 28.5-inch hardwood saya is finished in a deep blue piano lacquer that achieves a glossy, mirror-like surface reflecting light with a rich teal depth. Black sageo cord is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot, complementing the dark handle fittings and creating a cohesive blue-and-black color scheme. This saya finish is part of our Blue 1000 Layer Folded Steel Katana collection.
At 41 inches overall and 4.5 lbs, this sakabato has real presence as a display piece or anime replica. Every component - from the folded steel grain to the piano-lacquer saya - is assembled by hand, making it a standout collectible for Rurouni Kenshin fans and Japanese sword enthusiasts alike.
