Product Details

Before he swore never to kill, before he became the wanderer — Kenshin Himura wielded this blade. This is the sakabato he carried during his early days of redemption, a reverse blade sword forged not to take life, but to protect it.

This faithful reproduction of the Battousai sword from Rurouni Kenshin is hand-forged from T10 Steel using traditional clay tempering. Featuring a real hamon line positioned on the spine — true to the anime — this sakabato sword balances deadly craftsmanship with peaceful intent. Whether you’re a swordsman or a collector, this is the definitive rurouni kenshin sakabato for your collection.

"You cannot undo what you have done. But you can protect what is to come." — Kenshin Himura
