Props (Japanese Sword)

Here's a little advertising. The traditional Japanese sword, specifically a Katana, one of the different types of Japanese swords. Zero metal used, just wood, paper and plastic. (Yeap, we make cardboard look so good.)
Total material cost was about $40 to $60 depending on how many times you screw up......
You don't even need anything fancy. Money saving tips from Clive Lee; See those carvings on the handle butt and the hand guard? You just cut them out of 2mm 3mm plastic sheets. (Those you use to wrap books, are 0.5mm to 1mm). The carving of the dragon on the handle, that was taken off from toy Katanas bought at neighbourhood provision shops. And the dark blue laces for the handle and sheath? Those are freakin shoe laces. You put them all together, and pray real hard you don't screw up on the paint job, and Whala!
