Klingon Mek'leth. What more do I need to say. Laser cut it out of 6 - 8 mm (1/4 - 1/3 inch) acrylic and then paint silver. You may wish to sand the edges to give it a more realistic, sharper profile but I didn't because it was just easier. Then wrap some fabric (faux leather is what I've used) around the handle to give it a better grip. You may not be able to see it but I have given mine a slight aged look by scratching it with steel wool and then rubbing brown and black shoe polish on it. This is perfect for and conventions which do not allow real metal blades or can be used as I have as wall decoration in my quarters. Please upload any makes! I would love to see what you do with them!
