Introducing the Yūnagi Sakabatou (夕凪), a weapon inspired by the legendary swordsmanship and philosophy of a warrior's journey. Like the iconic sword of Rurouni Kenshin, this reverse blade katana represents the duality of strength and mercy, crafted for those who seek to protect rather than harm.
The fletching tsuba symbolises precision and focus, while the intricate fittings at the kashira and fuchi depict a warrior on horseback, charging into battle—a testament to courage and the relentless pursuit of justice. The guandao menuki reflects the spirit of a warrior, and the pine motif echoes resilience and longevity, anchoring the blade’s design in rich symbolism.
This predominantly black katana features dramatic bursts of red on the scabbard and rayskin, symbolising the inner strength and passion that drives a warrior. The reverse blade design is a reminder that power does not always equate to destruction—sometimes it’s the restraint of the blade that defines true mastery.
Yūnagi (夕凪), which means Evening Calm, evokes a sense of tranquillity after battle, symbolising the peaceful resolve of a warrior who wields the blade not for destruction, but for protection and peace, much like the philosophy behind the reverse blade. It also captures the quiet strength and the restraint that comes with mastery, much like the setting sun bringing calm after the storms of the day.
