Please help me find an answer!!!!!!!I need to know how to make a durable paper sword. where can I get clear details and pictures on how to make it
hmmm...';durable'; and ';paper'; really don't go together...
would this work for you though?
Although KAOS employs weapons other than the traditional paper sword, it has the advantage of being cheap and easy to construct at the last minute. This means it's still commonly used.
A paper sword is not simply a rolled up newspaper, fresh from the front lawn. Such a weapon has a goodly weight, and could easily break your nose. We only need a little of the newspaper for each sword.
Take 7 (double width) sheets of newspaper, lay them out flat as possible
Roll the sheets diagonally, as tightly as possible, into a tube. This will mean the tube is fewer layers thick at each end.
Tape around the middle of the tube, to keep it rolled up. Flatten one end.
Grab the roll a little over a hand width above the flattened end. Bend the flattened end upwards and tape it to the roll above your hand, forming a hand guard. Make sure the curve is large enough to comfortably accommodate your hand.
You then have something that looks roughly like a sabre or cutlass. Used as a foil, (i.e. as a pointed thrusting weapon), you are less likely to hurt your opponent than if you use it as a slashing weapon, or club; keep it low and away from the face. Papers swords sometimes disintergrate in battle, especially if you get them wet, so it helps to bring spares.
