Ninjato 3.0 - Alt Z
I made this sword by using my normal 3.0 method (check out my dagger 3.0 to see what that is), but after taping the foam to the sword, I carved it into a "sharp" edge with a jackknife. That took ages, and it was tricky, but that wasn't anything over the guard. I ended up making a guide out of a piece of cardboard (drew out the pattern and cut it out with a jackknife) and taping that to the piece of foam that was to become the guard. I then carved the guard out halfway, removed the mold, put it on the other side, and finished carving it. After that, I added stick on rhinestones. I used "tape on engravings" for a lot of it, which I make by putting a piece of electrical tape on top of a piece of foil tape and drawing on it with pencil, and in that way sort of stamping a design into it. I pencil-stamped the sea serpent on the blade the same way, though I did it while it was already on the blade and I didn't use electrical tape.
The sheath I made by wrapping two pieces of cardboard in one layer of packaging foam and then that foam in one layer of black sparkly thin craft foam.
