The $9 Hardware Sword

This is a simple, cheap sword I made for about nine dollars and a few days of work. I use it only for display and not as a real sword, ,because the steel is not tempered. It could easily be made functional with a sword forge.  Not that hard at all to do and all the materials were sold at the hardware store.

Here's a video summary and assembly video:
