Bleach: Haineko

Rangiku Matsumoto: Haineko (Ash Cat) [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 2 months since my last Sword Upload so I thought I might as well show you another sword since it is my 2nd DA anniversary.

Now this sword is not much different, however I will say I think yet again I have improved my swordmaking skills. Though this is mostly in the area of the tsukamaki. I remember the times when I was making my old swords how I always had such trouble doing the tsukamaki. However using a material alot stronger then ribbon, I am talking about shoe laces it worked alot easier. Now since I do not have a cap for the hilt I just had to cut off the end and sow the ends together to make it clean. Other than that not much else to say really.
