Sokka's Space Swordby ~Goomba-Squad

Photography / People & Portraits / Cosplay

Detail photos of Sokka's Space Sword from Avatar the Last Airbender. Crafted by Johny mainly from MDF, this is the first wood piece he's made entirely from scratch. The wrap on the hilt is made from nylon lace in traditional Japanese method, despite the sword being based loosely on the Chinese Jian. The details on the crossguard are shaped from balsa wood and the White Lotus tile on the base of the pommel was sculpted in Super Sculpey and then attached. The scabbard is completely felt line in order to protect the finish on the sword. And yes, the blade is a dark metallic color. I'm pretty sure that was the question I received most as Sokka at the con when it was sheathed and the exclamation I received most when it wasn't.

I love it! Is the blade metal?

~Goomba-Squad Oct 14, 2010

Nope. The whole thing is constructed from MDF, a medium density particle-type wood product. Very light and easy to use, though in the future Johny hopes to use pine for future projects for added strength and stability. Glad you like it!

~Team-Megan Oct 14, 2010

cool! I thought all of your weapons were metal. that's sweet!

~Goomba-Squad Oct 14, 2010

Nope, all wood, but I'm glad because that was certainly the aim.

~Team-Megan Oct 14, 2010

cool.

Very nice, the painting on the blade works very well, looks like metal. I also like the photo montage.

~Goomba-Squad Oct 13, 2010

Thanks! Johny thought a gunmetal coloring would look better than black. Glad you like it.
