Master Sword Blade

Skyward Sword Link's Master Sword~

I was going to skip making the blade (I know, blasphemy...), because of time restraint. Though at this point, I'm really happy I took the chance, because it turned out great. This is my third blade constructed, first double-edge type.

I was able to make the handle, which is rolled up cardboard, because I didn't have anything in that shape kicking around the house. Both top and bottom circular shapes, and the blade itself. I used a dowel running along the middle for added strength to keep it straight, otherwise everything is made out of cardboard again~

The edge is extremely clean, to the point that I'm not sure if it's too sharp for con regulations. It's about as thin as a layer of a cereal box (worst is I give people paper cuts?), but at least I have the scabbard. So I can keep it sheathed until events like the Masquerade, or photoshoots. It's about 47.5" long, from blade tip to handle end.

I'll be working on the wings tonight, and triforce insignia, add padding to the handle, the string, then finished! Wooo~!
