Durable Knex Katana

This is a pretty durable katana/(sword since it does not tilt backwards) that also looks good. The grip and guard of this katana was inspired by The Sensei, but everything else was designed by yours truly. If you swing this katana, the blade will wobble a bit but it should be fine. Anyways, enjoy the build.

If anything is unclear about this step please say so in the comments. This shouldn’t be too hard except for putting the red connectors on.

Blade

In pictures 3 and 4, the orange connector near the top of the blade should not actually connect to the white rod.It should just be able to slightly clip on to it.

Connecting the Hilt and Blade

This step is a little confusing. Connecting the purple connectors to the gray rod requires pushing down the blade a little. After that, it’s basically done! If this gets to 10 likes I will post a mod to the katana.

Thank You for Building!
