    I made this one for my son years ago. Some straight grained African mahogany and an oak hilt. 5/16” blade and laminated two more pieces on either side for the handle. A few minutes on the belt sander for the blade and a few on a sanding drum for the grip. Drill and chisel for the hole and brass nails for the attachment. I’m pretty sure you could skewer someone with it, so you might be careful as though it was real.

    Not sure why I can’t upload the photo. I’ll try again tomorrow.

    I know enough about swords to know the pommel should be made of heavy metal, iron or brass, to balance the blade. It also can be used as a hammer if the blade snaps.
