I've been looking for a katana making video so I could finish my cosplay, this just saved me. Great vid.

[@ikarus6837]

Thank you for the tutorial! With combining the blade of this katana and the handle of one of your other ones, I was able to make a nice sword for my cosplay!

[@MysticBuild]

Nice!

[@derrangedweirdo6925]

Thats the sickest looking handle I have ever seen on a cardboard katana. Well done man.

[@MysticBuild]

Thanks!

[@blademastercrafts4187]

Dude this is sick af. You have earned my respect.

[@MysticBuild]

[@gear2108]

I'm going to use it for my uquiorra cosplay. Thank you

[@finbrixx]

You could make a video about a sheath for this katana. That would be awesome

absolutely gonna use this for building mortal kombat's sento - thanks so much for this tutorial!!

[@leenieleeying1130]

I just have a couple questions: 1. When making it, is it possible to paint/color it, but will it ruin the design? 2. Can you make a sheath for this please? 3. Which specific templates did you use in this video? Thanks, that's all. Loved the video, please keep the good work up.

[@MysticBuild]

Sure you can paint it. You can check my videos for painting for more tips. Check templates from the link in the video description

[@michelbissonnette8793]

Clean n super nice

[@MysticBuild]

Thanks!

[@nolif3368]

If I glue thin wood onto the top side of the blade instead of craft paper, would it make it more durable?

[@MysticBuild]

In that case why not make all wooden one?

[@nolif3368]

@@MysticBuild I don’t have the power tools or the proper material 😅

[@MysticBuild]

@@nolif3368 So, cardboard it is...

[@JoyBoy-destroy]

What is the light paper that you used to make the covering for the gaps in the blade and the sharp blade edge?

[@akshaj_animates2006]

Hello, I've got most of my materials ready for this, just had 2 questions: 1: Is a hot glue gun necessary or will normal glue qork? 2: Can you make a tutorial on the Scabbard aswell?

[@MysticBuild]

You can use normal glue and scabbard is in my future plans. But no promises...

[@quatajabalaga3228]

[@mharichand7379]

Yo bro I have lots of questions plz reply Can I make it with A4 sheet the normal one or that one , even tell the name of the paper Can I use fevicol Btw love from India

[@MysticBuild]

You can make it from A4 sheet and you if you mean fevicol glue, I don't really know. I have never used fevicol, so hard to say, maybe. Paper is just normal craft paper.

[@mharichand7379]

[@robertorodriguezpena4896]

From where do you get the different types of cardboard?

I use old cardboard boxes and craft paper. Almost all of my craft are made with reuse cardboard.

Sick bro😮

Thanks!

[@chillbunnyandbears1034]

After building it, can you paint it and coat it with mod podge? I love this video, I dont want to buy one and thinking about doing it for a cosplay. ANd how long is the katana?

[@MysticBuild]

Yes, you can paint it if you want. Recommend that you check out my painting videos for tips. After painting you can coat it if you want. Don't know if mod podge will work, but you can try it to something else, before you try it on the sword

this is genuinely cool, but did you touch the hot glue with your bare hand? 😰

[@MysticBuild]

Yes, you need to wait to it cool first and then you can take excess glue off

[@abdaniftikhar8625]

Is it flimsy or can I move it carelessly?

[@MysticBuild]
