THIS SWORD IS FOR SALE, NOTE ME FOR MORE DETAILS

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 2 months since my last Sword Upload so I thought I squeeze one in before the year ends on this swordmaking year.

What to say about this sword hmm... In talking about handle wrapping level 3 I have done it as best of my abillities and it looks quite alright. When I look back at nel tu's gamuza I am thinking, what the hell am I doing with this handle wrapping?! gosh skills improve quickly over time with more patience it seems. Shinji's handle wrapping colour is quite the common colour among others zanpakuto with is rouge or a really dark red/brown. So I picked a dark red rouge to match the colour. And I hope we see shinji soon in the manga I want to rewrite the name of these deviation properly.
