In this video, join me as I take on the challenge of recreating one of the iconic swords from the beloved anime, One Piece - Zoro's Wado Ichimonji! Using a steel rod for the structural integrity and EVA foam for the body, I'll guide you through the process of crafting this legendary sword from start to finish, including making the sheath!

Watch as I meticulously shape and mold the EVA foam to capture the intricate details of Wado Ichimonji's design. From its distinctive white blade to the ornate hilt, every aspect of this sword is carefully crafted to mirror its anime counterpart.

Whether you're a die-hard fan of One Piece or simply enjoy prop-making, this video offers valuable insights and techniques that you can apply to your own projects. Join me on this creative journey as we bring Zoro's iconic sword to life!

Disclaimer: If you are planning on making and taking this to a convention, make sure that the convention you're going to allows a metal rod as structure for your props. If they don't allow it, may need to switch to a wooden dowel for the support
