	sakabato (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		On the normal katana, the outward curved side of the blade is sharpened, while the inward curved side of the blade is blunt.
		However, the sakabato is made so that the cutting edge is on the reverse side of a normal katana.
		The sakabatou was used primarily by pacifistic or dishonored samurai who had taken a vow to protect but not to take life.

		But with the Sakabato, the blade is reversed, so it has a short sharp edge, and a long blunt edge, so that the risk of killing an opponent is greatly reduced.
		The Sakabato Shin'uchi is the sword that Kenshin uses after his old Sakabato got broken.
		The blade is strong enough to break Kenshin's sakabato, but it couldn't resist the impact of the hit, and it started to break, making it useless.

		Kenshin sighed and sat down near her head, setting the sakabato down next to him, and looked down at her sleeping face.
		Kaoru noticed the way Kenshin was walking seemed slightly tense, but shrugged it off as she entered the dojo and prepared for her daily exercise.

	AnimeNation Anime Forums - RK and his sword
		In the episode of RK when Jine(the weird manslayer) said that kenshin could never reach his full level of ability as the sakabato is unfit for the Mitsarugi style.
		After completing his training with Hiko Seijurou and finished mastering thhe succession technique, Himura became equivalent in skills as the samurai he was during the old Shogunate rule.
		It's because he uses it that he holds on to his beliefs of not killing, and plus I think it's overwelming what his opponents would think about him after they live to see another day after being defeated by Kenshin.

		Well, a sakabato would be pretty interesting to forge.
		An interesting note is Kenshin's sakabato has an iron sheath, just showing that Nobuhiro Watsuki is a good mangaka but not exactly a historical or weapons expert.
		Geez, that sakabato must be pretty damn heavy to carry.

		Kenshin, an ex-assassin who has given up killing, now carries a "reversed" sword (meaning that the dull edge is where the sharp edge should be) called a sakabato.
		Another character owns a double-bladed sword and a sword with a blade so thin that it functions more like a whip (or like Ivy's sword in Soul Calibur 2).
		Of course, being an ex-assassin he still has many enemies, so there is plenty of conflict and suspense.

		It also actively seeks ki from my attacks and blocks them, despite the fact that you are nowhere near my ability physically," Kenshin slowly walked towards Shuro and continued, "Your first strike against my sheath magnetized it to my sakabato, keeping me from drawing it.
		When your staff is shattered into over a hundred pieces, the field the individual pieces generates disappates to nothing.
		Now go turn yourself in to the police before I decide differently," Kenshin said as he sheathed his sakabato and glared at the fallen monk.

		In a type of warfare where a half an inch can make the difference between living and dying, 12 to 16 inches is a huge liability to try to work around.

	EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Sakabatou (new weapon) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A quick search for sakabato in google will show that (in the opinion of most sword experts) a sakabato is not only historically unknown but also an unsound weapon because a blade on the wrong curve of a sword that long would create sword-breaking tensions.
		And the sakabato should be a bludgeoning or slashing weapon (depending upon which edge is used) but the reverse edge is definitely shown as bludgeoning both in the manga and the anime.
		I agree with the penalty to using the sword as a lethal weapon.

		With no force use Maul doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell, unless Kenshin has serious problems adapting to using a lightsaber instead of a sakabato, and even then Maul will probably get schooled.
