The Kubikiribōchō (首斬り包丁; Literally meaning "Decapitating Carving Knife") is a massive broadsword shaped like a giant butcher knife, passed down from generation to generation amongst the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. It has a circle cut out of the top and a semicircle near the handle, which, as demonstrated by Suigetsu Hōzuki, seem to fit the sword's purpose of decapitation aptly, and the latter gives something to wrap a back strap around, in order to carry the weapon. Its extremely long handle is detachable: Suigetsu was shown screwing it off before travelling and reattaching it for combat.
