Fear it. It may be tiny, but beware. Seriously, i sliced 2 fingers in the making of this.
To make your own: For the blade you will need an old wooden garage door, removed from the garage and taken apart into sections. You only need the part with the windows in it so just lean the other pieces against the side of the house, as i have done; they decay nicely as the years pass. Okay so lay the window part of the garage door flat in the yard and slice it up with your circular saw. What you're aiming for is the wooden part between two windows because in the middle of this there's an aluminum nail about seven inches long which you'll need to slice pretty muchly in half. I did this by accident cuz i was having a stroke of brilliance that day (and the sparks it made were lovely) but if you try really hard to do it on purpose i'm sure you'll manage. Save the windows btw, you'll use them later on when building your house.
Anyway, the aluminum nail cut in half lengthwise makes a very good mini-sword blade. A handle can be improvised from a fountain pen nib which i'm sure you all have in mass quantities (if not, tell me and i'll send you one, my dad left me heaps) Make a blade guard out of a paperclip ( you can't see it but around the back it makes a loop so it stays on my finger) Wrap the whole thing with wire (gold colored) and buttonhole thread ( i used black but then coated it w red nailpolish to keep it from sliding, and also to hide the bloodstains)
