This sword was the familly possession of Roronoa Zoro's Sensei, his best friend's father. When Zoro's best friend Kuina died in an accident he asked her father to give him the sword. He's been carrying that sword since that day in her memory. It's the sword he puts in his mouth when preforming his Santōryu, his three-sword-technique. It's also the sword he chooses when fighting with a single sword. It's one of the 21 Ō Wazamono or "Great edges".
The sword has a very smoth and harmonious desing. A light white blade with a staight haminline and a round tsuka/guard, white leather ito/strap and a singre smoth kashira/pommel. The gold-ish underlay is undyed leather. The wooden stuba/handle is quite square, which gives a very secure grip. The ito is tightly wrapped in traditional hourglass pattern.

This sword was made before I learned how katanas looks irl so nerds like be might get irritated of some details x3 Any way, the blade is nice and soft, with a full fibreglass core and leather cap to prevent the point of the core from harming the sword from the inside. It's fully functional and very comfortable to use.

These Roronoa Zoro-swords are all a familly. They can be sold sepparately but that would be a shame to pull them from eachother, don't you think? ;3

All my weapons are handmade in every detail, with as genuine material as possible, wood, real leather etc... They're all tested to withstand all kind of beating that can occur, during larp, cosplay etc...
The core is a 8mm in diameter fibreglass rod. The body, heads and blades of the weapons are all made of a cellplast material, much like the same material used in campingmadrasses, just tougher and more flexible. The surface is made of about 10 to 12 layers of latex. (5 regular, 3 mixed with black acryllic and about 2 too 4 layers of differentially coloured latex.) The handles are often made of wood, due to the wobbly effect you might have with a normal foamplast handle. The wood makes it both safer to use and easier to controll. There are exeptions though.

If wished, I can take orders. Give me a holler and a description or picture (or both) by note. From there, we can discuss the matter and perhaps come up with something awesome! I'm working like this: First I sketch up a set of weapons that I will make (Up to 15 weapons) and then start building from there. When my set of 15 is planned and done, I will continue making order, but you'll have to wait untill the current generation of weapons are made before having yours created. Why I'm doing that is because that is the number of weapons I can cover with latex before the brush is destroyed. Latex can't be washed of and every layer of latex destroyes one brush. I've tried many solutions but noone works good enough without lowering the quality of the latex layer.

OBS!
These weapons has been laying for a looooong time, without beeing latexed, with makes the surface of the cellplast a bit rugged. Therefor, some of the weapons may have a bit of a rugged latexcoat. With that in mind I have lowered the price of this weapon.

Please understand that when doing all this by hand, it takes much time and effort. The materials are also of as good quality as I can afford to make them as durable as possible. Thereby the prices.

I'm taking payment throught paypal.

I am an up and coming Larp Weapon maker, currently I am only making blue foam weapons but I do what to get into making weapons out of LD45 foam, are there any tips you can give me??? I've already started making the four different Katana's that Roronoa use as blue foam weapons and they do look decent, but I want to make them more like this... so any advice would be greatly appreciated...
