AKA sakabato. A fictional type of reverse-edged Japanese sword that has been made popular by Himura Kenshin (Eng: Kenshin Himura) in Ruroni Kenshin Meiji Kenkaku Romantan manga/anime (US, manga: Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story; anime: Samurai X). Generally, curvy swords are sharp on the part where the blade curves outward while the part that the blade curves inward is blunt. A sakabatou is sharp on the blade that curves inward instead, thus making it a pacifist or not deadly sword.
As the ninja left an opening, the samurai struck the ninja's stomach with his sakabatou; only to left the ninja to wonder painfully why he is not dead yet.

"Shuji and Chise are two Hokkaido high school students barely starting a relationship with each other. Then, with no warning, a squadron of bombers from an unknown country destroy the city of Sapporo. All hope is lost when suddenly, the bombers are destroyed by a small red light floating across the sky. At this point, Shuji finds out that the one responsible for eliminating the enemy forces is Chise, who reveals herself as a cyborg engineered for mass-destruction."(plot summary by animenewsnetwork.com)
It is a very dramatic and touching anime, which truley illustrates the terrors of war.

Literally meaning "reverse-edged sword," the sakabatou is just that. Instead of the blade being on the curved edged, the blade is actually where the blunt edge would be, with the blunt edge being on the curve. Thus, when used just like any normal katana, the sakabatou can't cut or kill: the perfect weapon for Kenshin since his oath to never kill again.
Though replicas have been reproduced, the sakabatou is purely the brainchild of RK creator Nobuhiro Watsuki, and no sword matching the sakabatou's description has ever been recorded in history.
