Easy Knex Covenant Energy Sword from the Halo series!

An EXTREMELY simple design that is pretty strong and i think it looks cool. Hope you feel the same. My first instructable posted so i hope for possitive feedback but i am able to take criticism if you have any. If anyone has suggestions for any problems they have, then i would like to know about them.

Here is the parts list:
dark blue rod x4
red rod x4
white connectors (or black like mine) x2

Grey connector x1

Just one question,how did you reinforce it? I might do the same thing.

[bighead5454]

The swords in the game occasionally have sparks zap from one blade to the other, so i took 8 or so ladder connectors and snapped them into place on each blade, facing the other, in groups. Then, i connected them with a rod.

I can explain without pics, and I wrecked it a few years ago, so I hope my instructions were clear enough.
