Like Excalibur, this sword was also made of a stainless steel letter opener. Using the handy-dandy Dremel Mototool (and protective eyewear!), the blade was shaped, sharpened and grooved. The end was cut down to fit within a plastic rod turned on a poor-man's lathe (a drill), and reinforced with putty fill. The handle was then wrapped with upholstery thread. The handguard is made of styrene, and is engraved on the top (which you can't see, and isn't really worth seeing).
