These Zabuza Sword Replica Are the Items for Naruto Collectors

Zabuza Momochi stands out in Naruto for his weirdly designed sword. Unlike most swords in the show, it wasn’t a samurai katana but a massive claymore-like blade shaped like a cleaver.

Naruto and its ninja weapons had many of us imagining ourselves as a ninja back in the 2000s. But these days, you don’t need to rely on your imagination to enjoy having a kunai or katana. Not only are Japanese samurai swords from the anime real, but you can get your very own Zabuza sword replica to add to your collection or to your cosplay set.

What’s the Name of Zabuza’s Sword In Naruto?

Zabuza Momochi’s sword was named Kubikiribocho which in English means “Decapitating Carving Knife”. The sword earned its name from its unique design that featured two “slots” that allowed the user to easily decapitate an opponent. 

The large circle at the tip end of the sword is meant for putting a person’s head in it while the half circle near the handle allows for the user to pin an opponent against a surface and cut their head off in one sweeping motion.

That said, the size of the sword and its shape has led some fans to believe that its design is a nod to Final Fantasy’s Cloud’s sword. It has also been compared to Ichigo’s sword from Bleach.

How Did Zabuza Get Juzo’s Sword?

Juzo Biwa was the original wielder of Kubikiribocho and he used it when he was still a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. When Biwa joined the Akatsuki clan, he brought his butcher knife-style sword along with him. 

After his death, it passed onto Mangetsu Hozuki who wielded it briefly before it was again passed onto Zabuza Momochi. He combined the sword with his own unique mastery of the sword arts to become one deadly ninja fighting machine 

The hard fighting he did with the sword led to it being broken, but Zabuza was later able to fix the sword by drawing the blood of Kakashi Hatake after he was immobilized by Haku.

2 Zabuza Sword Replicas for Your Naruto Collection

Naruto and its shinobi, including Sasuke Uchiha, are primarily shown using katana swords in both the anime and manga, but these gorgeous replica swords are one-of-a-kind copies of Zabuza’s Kubikiribocho from the anime. 

Metal Replica of Zabuza’s Kubikiribocho 

This metal replica of Kubikiribocho features a massive stainless steel blade that accurately captures the menacing appearance of Zabuza’s sword from the Naruto anime. While it isn’t sharpened, it’s painted and polished to look as if it were. This makes the sword far more realistic than 3D printed replicas and PVC-based copies.

Aside from the metal’s appearance, this replica nails the overall design of Zabuza’s sword with a cleaver-like blade, a curved tip, and two slots for decapitating your enemies. It even comes with a scabbard that can be slung on your arm so you’ll have an easy time lugging it around at conventions.

• Material: Stainless steel
• Length: 95 cm

Wooden Replica of Zabuza’s Kubikiribocho 

The wooden replica of Kubikiribocho is a more obvious replica, especially if you look at the sword from its edge side. That said, it’s still a faithful replica and even has a better handle design than the metal version.

The handle on this one features silver bands wrapped around the black handle, giving you enough traction to make swinging this sword around safe and comfortable. And you’re going to need it because this replica doesn’t include a scabbard.

• Material: Bamboo
• Length: 88 cm
