Looking really nice there!

And welcome to the Shard. xD

Oh damn, this looks great!

That looks really cool! How did you make it?

Thank you so much!

The "tang" is a broomstick with a 1/4" piece of mdf that runs down the middle of the blade. I sandwiched 4 layers of 10mm EVA foam over top of that.

Filled the gaps with flexible filler. Coated the whole thing in 2 layers of plastidip and painted the sharp edge with metallic silver and the flat edge with hammered steel.

The handle wrap is 6mm ball chain, about 7 feet of it, lol. The pommel I turned on my father in laws Lathe.  I added faux gemstones to the pommel and in the recesses on the blade. Took a little over a month on and off, maybe 20hr total. It's lighter than it looks and with the wooden pommel, surprisingly well balanced.

That looks almost real! Edit: oh there's actual metal coating! What did you wrap around the handle, they look like tiny beads? (idk if handle is the right word for that part of the sword)

I think that Shardblade is Oathbringer, I'm not sure though, I never paid much attention to the appearances of the Shardblades, but iirc fanart of Oathbringer shows it having a... hooked end like that

The handel is wrapped in 6mm ball chain. Like dog tag necklace chain. 

Unfortunately the artist has come out and said that it's not oathbringer, but failed to name it at all. Must be one of the Kholin shardbearers.
