This is a pocket sized boffer. Its intended use, is not battling broadswords, but as a knife. Stabbing, sneaking, you name it. This is an entry to the pocket size competition, so vote for me :).

4 nerf darts (depending on pencil size)
Duct tape
strapping tape (optional)
A pencil

Remeber those half half pieces :), tape them to the tip and pommel (just for saftey) I used strapping tape, but duct tape will work.. Also do some cross taping on the gaurd.

Tape Part II

Now you are almost done. Get strip of duct tape about half the circumference of the foam, and apply to the blade all around.(from base of blade, to top, to base). Repeat for the grip side. Now just do your best to tape and reinforce the guard.

Your Done!!
