Tenza Zangetzu Ichigo's Bankai. Made of maple wood and cotton ribbon. The chain is made from the wire from two coat hangers, The blade was curved using a steamer box. I was shown an amazing coincidence about this sword. The balance point is just behind the hand guard. I never planned it, hell I never even thought of it. It just happened.
i can imagine, how did you get started in making them. My wife and I are looking at starting in to doing cosplay I am always looking for advice on how to make things like that. Makes it more authentic so to speak.
(I'm NOT a know-it-all, but that's how it appeared in the anime)
