Table saw to get straight sides. Belt sander to get a curve to the blade tip.
The spine doesn’t have a curve like a traditional bokken, but that doesn’t keep me from tucking this bad boy into my belt loop and walking around the house like a samurai :)
These are good tips and I appreciate it! I don’t plan on hitting anything or sparring with it, but I’ll be cautious when fighting off the shinobi in my back yard ;)
Damn ninjas just won’t leave an honest warrior alone. Sheesh.
