Ame no Habakiri is a katana of medium curvature, its appearance analogous to that of its counterpart, Enma. Its all-light coloration is in accordance with its "heavenly" motif (contrasting the darkness of Enma). Its tsuba (identical to Enma's) is the shape of a trefoil, with each lobe thickly ridged (as is a central hole in each). The tsuka appears lacquered, being solid white (instead of wrapped in tsuka-ito), and is ridged by a trio of bands directly above the tsuba, as well as one higher up alongside two yet higher, far-apart lines of studs, all parallel. The kashira (singularly studded) is large, based in shape on a kumo (cloud) motif. The saya (colored the same as the tsuka) has a cord with two hanging, tufted ends (seemingly the sageo) a short bit below the tsuba, and is otherwise embellished by a triple set of flower motifs on each side (the pair near the cord six-petaled, the two below seven-petaled). The kojiri (like its sister blade's) is large with trefoil cutouts on each side matching the tsuba, and being accented by a wide, knobbed ring above it.[1][3]
Abilities
Being one of the 21 O Wazamono swords and a masterpiece of Hitetsu, one of Wano's greatest swordsmiths, Ame no Habakiri is an extremely powerful sword on par with Enma.[1] According to its creator, it can cut even the "heavens".[3]
It originally belonged to Kozuki Oden, and along with Enma was his primary weapon, both utilized in his Daito Nitoryu sword style.[1]
Trivia
The Ame no Habakiri (天羽々斬,Ame no Habakiri?, literally meaning "Snake-Slayer of Heaven") is one of the most famous Totsuka no Tsurugi, appearing in Japanese mythology as a blade used by the Shinto god Susanoo to slay the legendary monster serpent Yamata no Orochi. "Haba" (羽々?) is an archaic term for "big snake" (orochi).
Beside its legendary status, it is a real sword, being enshrined as the shintai of Isonokami Shrine.
In Chapter 920 and Episode 893, a flashback of Oden is seen wielding a sword with a tsuba different from either Ame no Habakiri or Enma's.
