making design documents but its actually fun

About 5 1/4" long, 2" wide

and yea, im learning how to do hamons for this!! figures it'd be fanart that got me to do it lol

im thinking just mild steel from rail spikes for the guard and handle, especially since ill have to saw that guard eye and rail anchor steel for the blade? six points of carbon should be enough for a good hamon, from what i can tell

Can't decide if i want that thick ridge at the back?? or if that makes it too busy. hrmm.. ill figure it out!!

hope you end up liking it, @wolfertinger666 😊
