well, this is the third of fourth remake of my first weapon Gitchi with is Ojibwe for "big".

Now I'm tempted to name it "Biigom" which means to "tear with teeth". I think...

here's some pics.

it's decent sized sword considering that I'm only 5'6".

I found a Chinese greatsword called the Miao Dao.

So I found some vids on youtube for reference.

it's actually not that heavy. As long as you don't try to be like Nightmare or Siegfried from soul calibur it's not too hard to use.

I also made a pair of slightly shorter(like an inch or two) greatswords too.

I maid their stabbing tips square to make constuction easier.

Nice! What was the core made out of? I like the slight curve on it.

just 1" PVC, i put a bend right at the center of the pipe. if you lie the core on a flat surface, the inside of the bend should stand 3 inches.
