I need to make a sword, not a katana but a sword that resembles the ones they used to use in Germany/Prussia, during around 1840-1848, or just pre-WWII in general. Anyway, my guess is that the blade would be easier to make than a katana since it's straight. However the handle would be muchhharder to make, since I am a total newbie. The handle uld look like the one in [link] , by the way.

So I was wondering as to how I should make it. I'm on a budget, I don't want to mess up. Should I sculpt it with clay? If not, could you please tell me how to make it using other materials?

Thank you in advance.

basically for a handle like that you Make a rough form with wire mesh then use a sculpting agent like day for example
