Update...
yeah balsa wood its really nice for making wooden swords or knives. I had to make a wooden sword for something at school and i used that stuff and a belt sander to give it a nice even edge, same motion as sharpening a knife on a grinding wheel really.
looks awesome so far dude i might have to make carters knife or the multiplayer knife

yes it does go in sheath
btw, if i were you, unless your going to make casts of the knife, try using a hard wood, unless your using some sort of super streangth balsa wood lol
if you want i can remove the pic and put a link instead or something....

That is a great idea! Using the pepakura model on paper and gluing it can cause it to warp (as my first two attempts did) which is a lot of work to straighten out in the end. Using wood is probably much easier than cutting and gluing all those tiny tabs. I think your prop looks awesome and I am inspired to try to make one from balsa wood as well. There is one tiny fly in the ointment; I really hate to bring this up, but no one else has mentioned it- Your bracket (sheath) is built backwards. If you look at pictures of Emille, his blade is mounted on his right shoulder with the sharp edge facing out. The big base plate is on bottom and the mounting bracket opens to the right not to the left as yours does. *wince* Your prop really does look nice and it does not need to be screen accurate for everybody to admire it. Keep up the good work!
