An unusual sword dating back to the Edo period was discovered in a family storage cellar of Shiroi City in Japan's Chiba Prefecture. Now donated to the prefecture's cultural archive, the discovered sword has been compared to the reverse-blade sakabato seen in the Rurouni Kenshin manga and anime series, according to the Asahi News. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/131548-Reversed-Blade-Similar-to-Rurouni-Kenshin-Sword-Found-in-Japan Pretty neat, although I wonder if it was just a defect... |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| That sword is impractical though, whoever wielded that reverse blade was at risk of serious injury from being accidentally stabbed by it. |
 |
| I have literally no idea what any this means . |
| I knew it! What about a 90kg white cloak? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

| Surely anything can be a 'reverse' blade if you just hold it the other way. |

 |
| this sounds dumb but how is it a reverse blade it looks just like any other blade |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
| Next up mummified burned rebel's remains found near sword. |

| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| Not an effective weapon for a manslayer though. |

Elphe said: The protagonist of Rurouni Kenshin wields a katana where the the edge is on the inside of the blade's curve, ergo, a reverse-blade sword.yhunata said: Elphe said: Seriously , what is a reverse sword thingy. why's it such a big deal . Watch or read Rurouni Kenshin. Then you'll know why it is such a big deal. Thats not going to happen. Just tell me. It's impractical, and not at all a normal design; there were presumably no records of any existing (historically) until now. TLDR: Not that big a deal, but fiction reflecting back into history. |

| Not sure if case of Life Imitating Art or Art Imitating Life? |
| that's a knife, but one existing from that period is fascinating and goes to show how much the legend of Kenshin means. |
| Bravo! History has done well. |
