So I finished it in time for the expo, and even got the scabbard mostly done. I even got a brown belt and guitar strap for carrying it around with.
All done in time for the Expo last Saturday, which was amazing.
I didn't have enough time to do all the detail on the scabbard, but I got most of it done. I plan on doing the rest of it over the next few weeks, so expect a totally finished sword and scabbard soon.
I also took lots of photos as I progressed through this make so I plan on making a tutorial soon for anyone who's interested. I'm planning on doing it on instructables.com and posting a deviation showing it off as instructables will make it easier to show step by step instructions which will be easily managable.
It can sometimes prove a hinderance to critique a piece of art, without actually having seen it in person. However I was blessed with the chance to actually see and even hold this sword in my nervous hands. The first thought that had ran through my mind is "Awaken Benihime has done it again!"
We have all seen actual steel replica's of the master sword being sold on the internet. However those were built in big factories with lots of people. Awaken Benihime is just one man with a small workship and yet he was able to build a master sword which rivals all the master swords in the world!
The intricate design and all the details have been perfectly constructed to ensure the highest quality imaginable. Why he even made the scabbard as well to perfectly match the sword! The only small critique I have is when I held it, it was a tad on the heavy side and much larger than I had imagined, but none the less awaken benihime's handmade swords are ones of a strong inner core.
I really want one I just finishes a rough-raw shape of the scabbard from the card board my sword came with it. But i just do not have the proper materials to finish it please please give me a quote lol honestly this scabbard is quite the best one ive seen, sword too.
any tips you can tell me how to create a scabbard as well? I plan to go as dark link and need the scabbard are accepting commissions to make one for me? thanks
I have to say, you are quite talented on making swords. Can you give more describe about the sword, like is this your idea of Benihime's Bankai form (In Japanese the title would be Mezameru Benihime), going by your Bleach like headline.
I hope you don't mind that I added this to my References. Reason being is because I'm making my own Link costume and I really don't think there are any real life Master Swords as accurate as yours
