How to make a pocket sized ninja sword. (ninja pocketknife).

This indestructable will teach you to make a mini version of the sword in the picture.
Everything will be made from scratch, but it can be made with things that are in your home.
This mini sword is like a homemade pocket knife but cooler.
You must have access yo power tools to do this project.
REMEMBER YOU CAN HURT YOURSELF OR OTHERS MAKING THIS INDESTRUCTABLE
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS

MATERIALS:

Some FLAT pieces of metal (steel is best) If you don't have any find a steel cooking pan and cut it in pieces.
Several packs of new shoe laces. Available at most shoe stores.
2x4s They don't have to be more than 2 feet long.
Wood glue
Scrap leather
All other materials will be described in the process.

Step 1: Making the blade

Every thing in this indestructable will be described using the metric system so you need to find a ruler
with centimeters and millimeters

To make the blade you will need your metal to be 3-5 millimeters thick.
Use a metal cutting saw to make the blade according to the diagram.
The end cut should be at 35 degree angle.

Use a angle grinder to make one side of the blade sharp. Use clamps to hold the blade in place while you grind.
You can also use a rotary tool to carve detail in the blade. If you have experience with engraving you can engrave your name on the blade.

Wow a pocket ninja sword just what I wanted

[eulaliaaaa!]

You could also pound a wooden wedge into the handle to make sure that the blade stays. That is what they use in axes. I heard a story of a duel between two samurai leaders, and one of them took the wedge out of the others sword, so the blade flew off in combat.

I think I will make something like that soon... Good job, too bad you didn't take photos. Also, remember that you can just use a file instead of a grinder... ;)... If you have some spare time.

its called a sheath not a stealth

[skimmo]

could you just use a steel ruler?

[weasel999]

 I added another step it has a better alternative

[One.]

 you could have actually made this and taken pictures, not just drawn it on paint.

[weasel999]

lol ya

[stoker221]

could you curve the blade slightly let me kno

[skimmo]

the curve is added on the tempering of a katana susing a forge and clay and its a very techincal prosses of heat treating and fast cooling

[weasel999]

you probably don't want to curve the blade since then it would not fit in the sheath

[finfan7]

That would have to be done when you were cutting the blade out. The curve in the real ones are caused by different contractions of two different types of steel.

[camocam]

Can't you multiply the measurements to make a real life life sword out of this?

[weasel999]

Yes but to make the sthealth you will need to use 2 pieces of wood and a router

[qwertyman10]

Could you include some pics of the final project? Otherwise, looks like a fun project.

[servion]

More pictures would have be appreciated, but good instructable anyway ;-)

[lmuli3]

id you make the bade in the first picture

[stoker221]

good job dude

[bowmaster]

I think step 3 should be "Making the sheath" not "Making the stealth". Other wise very good instructable.
