There's a reason why Kenshin likes the Sakabato sword: the cutting edge of the sword is at the back rather than the front, so it's useful to defeat enemies without killing them.
Kenshin is basically a pacifist. He is naturally a gentle and a good person. He even disappears from this world vowing never to kill again when the final battle is over. This explains why Kenshin prefers this reverse-edged sword.

This replica is handmade with a curved carbon steel blade, a lacquered wooden scabbard and a faux ray skin handle with black cord wrap.
