my wife challenged me to replicate the he-man/she-ra sword this is what i came up with (not much so far grinder sh#t its self today) started out with 3 pieces of flat bar welded together then shaped and the cut outs drilled and filed, plan is to weld on the pommel pieces on to finish the grip, one weird piece to wield so far, balance is all screwed up :lol: will be functional but prob more of a wall hanger Attachments:

got myself a new grinder after my last one crapped out on me and got stuck in to the he-man blade this is how it looks now made the handle from a piece of stainless steel tubing i got from the inside of a keg the pommel is aluminum threaded on to the tang, still have to finish edging it and grind in the lines and shapes that are currently no more than sharpy on the steel :lol: Attachments:

Starting to look a lot like it! Going to be a quite accurate reproduction.

started on skelitors and she-ras versions the she-ra one i scaled down since i don't think she-ra is as massive as he man is and the gem stones weren't the right size at the same scale (also cut the handle skewed so got to remove and re work that part) , still got to polish em all properly and grind in lines and edges etc, but they are coming together quite nicely glad i could bring back some fun for you. lost count of the no of times i wanted to do the he-man transform chant from show :lol: Attachments:
