Bleach: Sode No Shirayuki

Rukia Kuchiki: Sode no Shirayuki (Sleeve of White Snow) [link]

_{Blade Length: 30 inches
Handle Length: 10 inches
Ribbon Length: 80 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. Now i dont know why but many Sode No Shirayuki's made by people are straight its clearly curved.

However i did make my Tensa Zangetsu straight but thats becuase it was too long. Now the only thing im upset with about this sword is how unsmooth the curve is. I tried to be real carefull but i could not get a smooth curve. The ribbon was fun to make but required sowing lol. I think i used an entire can of white primer spraypaint on this sword.
