My friend wanted to cosplay Raphtalia from Shield hero. So I made her a sword. The entire sword length is about 30 inches from the end of the pommel to the tip. Iide there is a Ø 3.56mm hole which I filled with a Ø .125" carbon fiber rod measuring about 20 inches long. Each section of the handle is a tight slip fit so it didn't "need" adhesive when I built it. The only place I put adhesive on was on each portion of the blade and the top of the guard. QTY 2 of each blade portion is needed. QTY 1 of all other parts.
