i made some wakizashi\'s to match the katanas.
i have some scabbards ready to i just need to fininsh the textures but i done think that the game supports sheathing of the weapons.
i will perhaps do one more katana then i will do something else what that is i still have to figgure out

Wow!!! These are amazing, both the Longsword and the Katanas, they are realy good, well done. You should be on the PS modeling team, if you\'re not allready ;) . What did you use to make them?

WOW!!! I have to say that I love these swords!! And thank you for the wakizashi addition too :D I think I like the grey wrapping the best, and the darker steel.  the black guard is sweet too... Just playing with color combinations in my mind :D  Thank you so much for these EXCELLENT models.  As everyone else has said, join the team already!

My only complaint would be that those blades with darker metel would look better with...lighter metel. Steel isn\'t that dark is it?

it depends on the grade of steel.

ok, the long explaination....

steel is iron.
when you remove the impurities from iron, through the smelting process, you create steel. low grade steel is darker. it is harder than high grade steel, yet more brittle, good high grade steel is softer, yet will not snap when it is bent, it will, rather, bend and whip back into position when released. ever heard of spring grade steel?

anyway, to be technical, no a katana normally wouldn\'t be that dark, unless it was low quality workmanship. but that doesn\'t mean that it\'s not more aethetically pleasing to some people.

edit: almost forgot, steel, before tempering, can be dyed a darker tint. I had nearly forgotten about gun barrel tinting in the wars(gunmetal blueing technique), also, ninja once dyed their blades so that they would be less noticable in the dark

Id personally prefer a high grade steel katana that is highly polished and silver in appearance. So when light hits it, it glistens.

Ah, I see, thanks for clearing that up tyger. Well, then I think it would look better with high-grade steel, but do what you like, call it tinted steel if you want.

Oooooh those look really SWEET! I sure hope they make it in-game in some version of PS, it would be a nice kind of reward for your work, don\'t you think?
