Bleach: Tiburonby *chioky

Artisan Crafts / Woodworking

Tia Harribel: Tiburon (Imperial Shark Empress) [link]
_{Blade Length: 20 inches
Handle Length: 10 inches
Total Length: 30 inches}

This sword is handmade with no power tools (except a drill) out of strip pine wood and its full tang. Here we have it folks, this is the very last, final sword ever made for my Bleach Sword collection, it all started back in febuary 2007 and now it will end as the year 2009 comes to a close, it's been a great journey through swordmaking!

This sword was as unique and different to my normal katana swordmaking just like my benehime. A few quick facts, no it does not have a sheath, and even if it did it would be too big. You see when the sword is sheathed it appears 20 inches long, however when tia harribel unsheaths it, it becomes 30 inches long. So for the sake of form and detail I made Tiburon at 30 inches long. The tsuba took a very long time, far longer then any other I had made, there was alot of sanding. Trying to make sure the blade didn't snap halfway through was annoying as well. However in the end it is a very polished sword with a sleek and sublime surface!

it is amazing hey i had an idea it is not a request but if you could slim down tiburon and lengthen it into a katana the put it on the handle and guard of the benihime sword then change the tassle and tripple ribbon to purple that would be awesome it would be like the zanpakuto of the kid of tier and kisuke

I have no idea what you just said but whatever

~kingkisuke99 Nov 23, 2011

imagine taking tiburon and sliming the blade down into a katana then take the handle and tsuba of benihime and put them together i think it would look pretty good

~sherlyXD Sep 16, 2011

thanx soo much for this

i'm plannin on bein halibel dis year
I'm gessin you don't have an exact tuttorial for her tiburon?
If not, can I ask for some advice on it?
the diamond cube inbetween the hillt and the blade...is dat a block of wood or peices you put together?
Also, how do you weave the ribbon on the handle? (what's the process or pattern or sumthin)

this is an impressive sword, sadly the last sword your making, but impressive still. It must of been difficult making the gap in the middle at least.

~Avalanche177 Jul 5, 2011 Student Traditional Artist
