Hey there, Amazing Benihime there!
Do you remember where you bought your cloth to wrap your handle, I really like that texture. ^__^

Hey, thanks very much. For the wrap I just used bias tape, bought it at a fabric store.

Why do people neglect dinodude73's benihime when it was actually made of metal XD

I couldn't tell you, maybe we need to hype it up a little more!

I don't think that you can rank the current best reproductions of Benihime - each has its own individual merits. The greatest strength of yours is its wrapping: it's more authentic than the others. Chioky's is incredibly clean and stylish in that the drawn lines reflect the original media: manga drawings. Awaken's might be the best because it's clean and the raised designs are impeccable.
HOWEVER: I also have the benefit of having actually *held* your version of the sword, so I know your pictures don't do it justice >.< And now it's gone!
...Next time, I won't let you send it off til I've taken better pictures

Great job! I love the handle wrapping, I would've wrapped mine like that if I knew how.
Any other makes on the cards? Commisions or otherwise.
I've got something cooking up, I'm really excited about it, but as I'm abroad on business I can't start. So I'm doing lots of sketches and technical drawings until I get home.

Thank you very much, I'm pleased you like it! Yours is still better I'd say. As for upcoming projects, I've got a whole bunch, such as a trigun replica, and a few more katanas. Any hints as to what you've got coming up?

It doesn't only involve the use of wood, other materials will be used aswell.

Cool! It looks awesome! The 4th best on DA, as I vote!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. I agree that it's not the best one either. Which ones do you see as better than mine? I think Awaken-Benihime's is better, and chioky's as well.

It was some Benihime that I saw on DA, I'll link it when I find it.

Very nice! But it's very hard to say which Benihime I like better.Yours or Chioky's. Gaaah! I'm just not gonna decide. -_-;

Ah, play it safe! It's cool, I think it's neat that there are so many Benihimes out there, I'm not trying to beat anybody.

Awesome! Pretty detailed and nice job on the wrapping , too. Must have taken much time to finish it.^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes it did take awhile to finish. Much longer than I planned actually! Thank you for the compliments!

That is very cool.
I'm always amazed by the pattern on japanese sword handles.
By the way, Is that actually forged in metal or carved from wood and painted
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad you like it. It's just wood and paint. I'm not nearly to cool as to work with metal.
