Wow, I didn't expect to see you guys commenting on a channel about making foam props. Then again you are fans of cosplay and stuff like that so I shouldn't be surprised. Either way pleasant surprise for sure.
Dope! For the inner core, a better option would be a water valve key. It's metal, but since it's inside the prop, it's not against con rules, and you can bend them. I've done this a few times now, Pretty easy to bend too, and only about 6mm thick. I use that nested in 6mm foam, sandwiched between 2 pieces of 4mm for a 14mm blade, which is still thin enough to look good. You can also do what you did in the video to use only 2 layers of foam, but whatever..semantics..lol
everyone will be asking for the katanas foram hashiras, but will be very interesting if you make the masks that have the tanjrio,sabito or at least the forgers that make the katanas.
I love that you know how traditional katanas are constructed, even down to how the silk ribbons are wrapped around the grip and even knowing their proper names. This sword turned out super cool Odin, it’s definitely better than your original katana from forever ago. I’m definitely going to have to check out Demon Slayer now
3/8” rigid aluminum tubing and a hand bender would solve your graphite shaft problem. If you have problems bending with the tubing bender, Adam Savage has a video on building a suit of aluminum armor that shows you an ingenious way to anneal aluminum for easier bending. Just a thought. Love your videos!
What a coincidence! I'm literally waiting for the silver coat to dry on a replica of Tanjiro's final arc/antique katana right now! Other than the blade being foam instead of wood, this is *exactly* how I build my swords. Also, the style of wrap on tanjiro's hilt is called katate-maki, as opposed to the one you see more often, where the diamonds go all along the grip, which is called hineri-maki.
I love this build, I wish I had one my self. Demon slayer is on of my favourite anime’s that I have ever watched and maybe you could try and make Hashibira Inosuke mask or katanas
This looks insane! Love the way it turned out and I'm definitely going to try to make a katana sometime! Also for future props from Demon Slayer i think that Tanjiro's fox mask would be a good idea since the base can be reused for different characters in the same show.
Oh, for another DS prop, might I suggest either Himejima's nichirin axe-flail, or (appropriate, since he's central in the next arc the anime will cover) Tengen's sword-nunchaku.
I really love props like this, folling these steps with minor adjustments you could have a sword for Deadpool, leonardo, the bride, and I'm sure many other katana wielding characters that I'm not thinking of. It's a dozen props in one video
So cool! I have two suggestions from two anime’s. The first is demon slayer and the suggestion is Nezuko’s box. The other one is from mha and the suggestion is kaminari’s pointer. You’re props are amazing and I can’t wait to see more!
Good thing I checked the comments. I think Nezuko's box would be amazing, even if it was to fit Joe since he is more of the right " build". But to see it fit any one work be "slaying" it!
The "sori" (depth of the curve of the katana spine) varies from blade to blade during the traditional forging and heat treating anyway, so making the blade less or more curved is still acceptable from that perspective. Good work as always!
When i make my own katana i probably wont create that diamond pattern and instead have it just one colour wrapped around the handle but this was a great video and helped a lot
Excellent as always Odin!! Here’s an idea for you: Supernatural props, as in props from the awesome tv series Supernatural! The Colt, Ruby’s Demon Killing knife, an Angel Blade, and of course the First Blade to name a few!! You could knock those out no problem man!!
Hey odin can you please make a full video on how you wrapped the handle. I bought one from amazon and I find the handle kind of ugly but I plan to customize it:)
I really like this, it's a really cool sword. Thinking back on the grilled cheese sandwich making video, I'm curious about, how a donut would be made and what would be the filling.
I'm long time fan of the channel i've been watching for 4-5 years now. I have always liked the movie batman forever and i love the riddles the riddler leaves behind. I thought that could be a fun build for you to make, one of his riddles.
Do inosuke's pig mask , that would be really fun to see , i been seeing a lot people try to do it , but i can feel that yours is going to be the best one 😌
Something I have done in the past for an internal structure that needs a curve, V-notch the inside rod. Bend to angle it needs to be. 5 minute epoxy and you've got your angle and can still cover in foam.
For costume props etc i made when i was doing em on comission i used to use fibreglass rod (tent rods as you can get them uncut in huge lengths for cheaper) and for adhesive of ...basically anything i used a contact adhesive called "Alpha: Thixofix" ..... then seal it all up with latex colored to what you want the base colors to be and then i used a roofing compound called Isoflex by Ronseal to seal up my props and protect them from a lot of what life can throw at them........ just my 2 cents on the method :) im in England incidently. if anyone ever wanted more info on materials or whatnot gimme a nudge, im happy to ramble!
What's a better alternative to the core if I don't need to make it con safe and just a display piece? Preferably something that I could head over to my local big box store and pick up.
You have come a long long way with your katana making! Your experience shows! Well done my friend !
Love your build of this katana as well!
Wow, I didn't expect to see you guys commenting on a channel about making foam props. Then again you are fans of cosplay and stuff like that so I shouldn't be surprised. Either way pleasant surprise for sure.
@@HavocHounds1988 They were both on the same channel for a while way back in the day. Nice to see a bit of love from the old "co-workers."
I get a warm feeling down in my tum tum when Channels I watch comment on other Channels I watch. I love the Maker community on TH-cam.
@@TheRealAlpha2 Oh, I did not know that. I first saw Matt and Ilya on Man at Arms: Reforged.
Well it makes sense to make inosuke's boar head or his double blades now that would be cool
Inosukes boars head!!!! Yes please!
Yes please Odin please do this
Gotta second the boars head.
And his sandals. They have fur on them too.
You really 'slayed" this build. You're a 'demon' at crafting 🙏
Ha! Thank you
I would love to see a sheath for this katana as well! The sword looks fantastic!
That intro was absolutely perfect
Thank you!
Great video as always!
this is literally the best katana prop I've ever seen
I just found my pip boy I created from your tutorial 5 years ago. Glad to see you're still making stuff!
Odin: If there are any more Demon Slayer Props you'd like to see?
...We thinking Inosuke's mask?
Good idea 👍.
Yeah
I would love to see Rengoku's sword!! Hope you enjoy the rest of the show!
The style of wrap on the tsuka is called a battle wrap, and you did an awesome job
Simple but very awesome. Thanks, Odin!
Whooooo! That barely looks like a foam prop at all! Awesome!
That turned out epic!
This turned out so much better than your first one!
Wow your really good at making cosplay props
Awesome build!

Yes!
> This is something I've been wanting Odin to make...
thank you so much for making this!
Inosuke's boar mask would be awesome!!!!! 🔥
Beautiful looking katana, the glossy black sheen really looks like the anime.
Love it. Nice work dude.
Looks AMAZING!!
I love that you know how traditional katanas are constructed, even down to how the silk ribbons are wrapped around the grip and even knowing their proper names.

Nice, solid build!

Shinobu’s katana would be a really cool one to do!!
Damn that was perfect! Loved the router to cut and groove!!!
The Stone Hadbira Giyome's flail and Axe would be a cool build!
Kyojuro rengoku sword and obani iguro sword also I’m so happy to see the improvement from your first katana to this one
Dude the way Odin says tanjiro makes me die a little inside BUT I can't lie it's kinda adorable lol
Gorgeous work! My entire family loves Demon Slayer! PLEASE make Inosukes boars head
Amazing build, great job!
I love the production value, reminds me of How It's Made.
Other than the size, this is an awesome build!
Awesome! I'll definitely use this as a tutorial to make Astray Red Frame's sword 👍
What a coincidence! I'm literally waiting for the silver coat to dry on a replica of Tanjiro's final arc/antique katana right now! Other than the blade being foam instead of wood, this is *exactly* how I build my swords.

Sweet!
@@OdinMakes I'll send you a picture when it's all done. I've even found a way to get the black/red color-change effect.
This sword looks BOSS!
I'd love to see Inosuke's Serrated blades.
I love this build, I wish I had one my self. Demon slayer is on of my favourite anime’s that I have ever watched and maybe you could try and make Hashibira Inosuke mask or katanas
This looks insane! Love the way it turned out and I'm definitely going to try to make a katana sometime! Also for future props from Demon Slayer i think that Tanjiro's fox mask would be a good idea since the base can be reused for different characters in the same show.
I really do love that sword. I would buy that sword.
I was waiting for you to make this! Tanjiro’s Nichirin sword was always the coolest looking to me.
Oh, for another DS prop, might I suggest either Himejima's nichirin axe-flail, or (appropriate, since he's central in the next arc the anime will cover) Tengen's sword-nunchaku.
This was a fantastic video! Another Demon Slayer prop?…..Inosuke mask? Now that sounds like a challenge!
I really love props like this, folling these steps with minor adjustments you could have a sword for Deadpool, leonardo, the bride, and I'm sure many other katana wielding characters that I'm not thinking of. It's a dozen props in one video
This man builds stuff!
Dang this is nice, and so helpful. I actually really needed something like this for a cosplay i'm working on.
I might make this for genuine katana practice, because I can't afford a real or a practice one, thank you master odin
So cool! I have two suggestions from two anime’s. The first is demon slayer and the suggestion is Nezuko’s box. The other one is from mha and the suggestion is kaminari’s pointer. You’re props are amazing and I can’t wait to see more!

The "sori" (depth of the curve of the katana spine) varies from blade to blade during the traditional forging and heat treating anyway, so making the blade less or more curved is still acceptable from that perspective. Good work as always!
a cool thing you could do is attach a long cloth of juggling silk to get a look similar to Tanjirou's water breathing trails!
When i make my own katana i probably wont create that diamond pattern and instead have it just one colour wrapped around the handle but this was a great video and helped a lot
It looks awesome.
Measure 3 times Cut ones ... Beautiful Katana build Odin Makes
You did an amazing job Odin, Hopefully I can also build Tanjiro's nichirin sword and use your video as a guide.
looks awesome man! inosuke’s duel katanas from demon slayer would be another awesome build
HELL YEAH!! DEMON SLAYER!! This is awesome nice work!!
Thank you!
Excellent as always Odin!! Here’s an idea for you: Supernatural props, as in props from the awesome tv series Supernatural! The Colt, Ruby’s Demon Killing knife, an Angel Blade, and of course the First Blade to name a few!! You could knock those out no problem man!!
I'm currently planning to make one of urokadakis fox masks that he makes for his students, would love to see how you take on the same challenge
Thanks for making this. As always, I love your work. I hope you come back to this one day and make a second version of the nichirin-to 😎
Awesome job!! I would love to see you make Inouskes and Zenitsus katanas next!!
Would def love to see you do Inosuke's twin Nichirin Blades 😍
Hey odin can you please make a full video on how you wrapped the handle. I bought one from amazon and I find the handle kind of ugly but I plan to customize it:)
there are so many masks that would be great to see crafted from your hands.
I would love to see either the box that Tanjiro keeps Nezyko in, or Inosuke's mask!
You may want to create a copy of everyday stuff or things that are usually laying around the house. I think that would be interesting ☺️
Finally a kimetsu no yaiba prop! It's amazing, i would love to see you make inosuke's boar mask next
Hey I was around for that original sword video, glad to see that you did things differently this time
Very cool. I wonder if armature wire could be used to stiffen up something like that and allow it to have a greater curve.
It looks like you calculated that curve perfectly to fit a straight rod and still have a noticeable curve
I'd love to see you do any of the swords from Game of Thrones. Drogo's arakh, Arya's Needle, Jon Snow's Longclaw, Brienne's Oathkeeper.
Really nice project Demon Slayer blade ❤
Inoskes Boar head is right up your alley.
This is awesome love the paint stick handle super creative
Thank you!
I really like this, it's a really cool sword. Thinking back on the grilled cheese sandwich making video, I'm curious about, how a donut would be made and what would be the filling.
Great job on the katana.
Maybe now you could make the fox mask that Tanjiro wears in his training test of maybe the mask of Urokudaki.
Make Nezuko's box (backpack)
Well done vid!
i don't know if it's possible, but i would absolutely LOVE to see you doing Inosuke mask
This is really cool, do you think you’d be able to make Dracule Mihawk’s sword from One Piece?
I agree, he should also make try to crocodiles hook form one piece.
I would love to see that 😮
@@_Ch1llz are there any other one piece props Odin should make?
I also think he should make wolverine claws.
@@androidgaming6052 probably Usopp slingshot
Awesome work, I can't wait to try this! You should make Uzui's two blades for the new season, I'm going to be cosplaying him lol!
I'm long time fan of the channel i've been watching for 4-5 years now. I have always liked the movie batman forever and i love the riddles the riddler leaves behind. I thought that could be a fun build for you to make, one of his riddles.
Looks awesome
Do inosuke's pig mask , that would be really fun to see , i been seeing a lot people try to do it , but i can feel that yours is going to be the best one 😌
I regret not turning notifications my current favorite anime and that intro lol
Edit: 12:55 was so wholesome 😂
i think now you have made this you should do Rurouni Kenshin's Katana the reverse blade.
I personally would like to see you make another transformers g1 prop. Either Megatrons arm cannon or galvatrons.
It'd be really cool to see Inosuke's boar head as a mask!
Something I have done in the past for an internal structure that needs a curve, V-notch the inside rod. Bend to angle it needs to be. 5 minute epoxy and you've got your angle and can still cover in foam.

Awesome build as always Odin. If you want to try another Demon Slayer prop I would love to see you attempt to make Inouske’s sword.
Zenutu's sword, Inosuke's sword, and mask, and rengokus sword would be awesome
OMG I love it! Could you please consider making shinobu kochō's blade it would be interesting to see the challenge presented with a thinner blade
What's a better alternative to the core if I don't need to make it con safe and just a display piece? Preferably something that I could head over to my local big box store and pick up.
Looks amazing odin my brother Noah loves this show thanks again making amazing swords ur amazing maker and ur amazing person also
Thank you bubbabaer!
I'd love to see how you would make Sanemi, the Wind Pillar's katana.
Very nice project!
I know it's a long shot but could you make the Dark Magician's staff from Yu-Gi-Oh! ? I'd love to see that! 😀
Odin should make the love hashiras sword!!
Looks great as always, Odin! I'd love to see a weapon from Old School Runescape. Maybe one of the Godswords?
Iguro and Uzui's weapons would be cool to see you make!
