What Are Reverse Blade Sabres?

Everyone knows what a sabre looks like “it’s a long piece of steel with a sharpened cutting edge; and some swords have a double cutting edge “each side is sharpened to a fine cutting point. Reverse blade swords are different from standard single cutting edge blades in the sense that the cutting and blunt edges of the weapon are reversed.

With a normal foil, the side that is utilised to strike the contestant is the sharp side “the concept is to cut and harm the contestant. With reverse blade foils, the side which strikes the competitor is the blunt one and besides discomfort and bruising, small in the way of serious injury is likely to happen.

Using reverse blade swords for coaching purposes permits the trainee to hone hattori hanzo sword fighting skills with risking any injury to the individual he's practicing with. Since reverse blade foils can be on any design, they are superb for getting accustomed to the weight, balance and feel of the standard sabre “the reversed blade makes little difference to how it handles. The 1st documented historical reference to the usage of reverse blade blades is of the Sakaba sabres of Japan. The word Sakaba isn't used to define a specific type of sabre but makes reference to the fact the blade is reversed.

Sakaba blades were used in not just sword training but for all kinds of martial arts. Since the swords copied the feeling of a regular sword, the user would be in a position to train and use it with the same proficiency as he would with an ordinary epee. And though the probabilities of major injury were tiny, a blow from a reverse blade sword was unpleasant enough to make the trainee realize the injury he could sustain if hit by an ordinary foil.

Although no clear records remain, it is thought that these reverse blade foils could have been utilized by Samurai soldiers in real combat situation when they wished to incapacitate the enemy though not kill him “maybe for later interrogation.

The popularity of Japanese anime where soldiers are commonly shown as using these reverse blade blades in warfare has made them well known, especially among youngsters. They're in widespread use today as training tools since modern worries about safety make them the ideal practice weapon.
