See below for templates and the Instructable! I wanted to try something different in this build, so I laminated the blades from contrasting woods so the edge profile would show up in an interesting way. It didn't have quite as much contrast as I hoped for, but still makes for an interesting result.

These aren't a build for practice or sparring, just a fun project.
