Coyote Starrk: Los Lobos (The Wolves) [link] Blade Length: 30 inches Handle Length: 10 inches Total Length: 40 inches
This sword is handmade with no power tools (except a drill) out of strip pine wood and its full tang. The fourth sword is finished of the Second Bleach Sword Project. It has been about half a year since I last uploaded a sword, well this is the penultimate sword of the Bleach Sword Collection.
This sword was actually real easy to make, I was just making another haineko but with a different tsuba and painting. There is two versions of Starrk's tsuba a basic one, and a detailed one. I decided to go with the basic one, which is the one I drew in my Zanpakuto Tsuba Designs. You can look here for the detailed version: [link] now im not making those extremely thin details out of balsa. Anyway the painting was done well and the gloss sealent gives the blade a nice sheen. And finnally, shoe laces are a great alternative to using ito for tsukamaki.
