A while back, I played Dark Souls 2. I got to the final boss of the Crown of the Old Iron King DLC and got his sword. For whatever reason, I absolutely loved it.
So I took the time to make a Nagamaki in Creo.
It’s tagged as a work in progress cause I haven’t finished printing and assembling it. For all intents and purposes, it should work, but you never know.
The handle is designed so that you can wrap string or cords around it. Otherwise it would possibly be difficult to hold.
The parts are done in millimeters.
All parts are also within 5 and 1/2 inches (the size of my print bay).
In total, the sword is about 4ft long, 2ft for the blade and 2ft for the handle.
Extra note: it rained when I made this, so I was completely out of it (rain REALLY messes me up.). So the guard doesn't have any special design. As I get closer to printing it, I might change said design for something more elaborate.
Originally, I tried to incorporate a more square or angular design, going from references, but didn't like it. So that means it has to be oval or similar shaped.
Suggestions are welcome! And if anyone has a specific design in mind, send me a link and I might attempt to recreate it with the guard.
WARNING:
It didn't occur to me that the blade parts look too much alike.
So my advice would be to print the parts one at a time or to be sure to label them appropriately. For reference, use the file names. Part_A end of the handle, while the sword tip is Part_J. They go in order from one end to the other.
