Lost my oyoroi's sword awhile back to repeated bending and then my dog finished it off. Been looking around for a possible replacement katana at roughly this scale and not having much luck. The keychain katana's ive seen are still too large and 3D printed ones still have limitations i've been told. Anyone have any ideas?
Cut and sand some plastic card. Check out some ninja toys. There might be a double katana deadpool somewhere with the right sized blade, or you could cut it down.
Spikey Bits? Warmahordes may have some cool blades you like. Their models are 35mm...so it may be the right size.
Plasticard strip comes in different widths and thicknesses. Find some in the right profile and go to town on it. Shape one long side down to a blade edge, and cut to size. Also carve hilt at this point. Immerse in boiling water for about a minute. Bend the curve into the blade, then while you hold the curve, hold under cold water to set the curve. Then Carve a Tsuba out of more plasticard and mount to it. It's how I did the katana on my O-guijia conversion.
Just leave it without one? Mine snapped in half at the artistic necked down spot. In lieu of carving something from plastic card I just popped the whole thing off and painted over the small void that nobody sees in the game anyways. Now if you’re rocking one of the new LI models, follow chromedog’s advice. Plastic card is the way to go. Should be one of the easiest conversions going due to the size of a tag
