Miniature Folding Pocket Katana (gallery)

I made an I'ble on how to make your own, here.

Please rate and vote! I also have a blog, here!!

A few of these are the katana I made in the 'ible linked above.The one with the longer blade and kanji is version 2.0.

This is not really katana like at all. A Japanese knife is called a tanto. But I do not think this fits the definition of tanto. I do not intend to sound unkind.

Necropost :D This is reverse tanto or sheepfoot blade.

Do you sell this?

[ThaAWESOMEducttapeguy]

is there a locking mechanism?

What's the blade made from?

[nepheron]

Have you seen the 'ible for this? In it, I make the blade from an annealed spring, then hardened and tempered it.
I'm pretty sure there is a link in the desc.

[black hole]

Oh, okay. I missed that. I saw the link to your blog and kinda got mixed up.

Thought this was going to be really lame, until the picture loaded.
Nice job and thanks for the inspiration

[nepheron]

Thanks, I'm glad you're inspired! If you make something cool, don't forget to post a photo :) I have a few pictures of katana model 2.0 on my how-to blog

Yea checked them out too, shame about YouTube commenters huh, made a few planters out of glass bottles using a burning string technique that wasn't nearly as clean as yours

[zazenergy]

I'm confused, why are you posting two relatively identical Instructables?

[nepheron]

One is a gallery. I can't post pictures on the video ible, so i made a picture 'ible.
Is that ok?
