How to make a Hobbit Sword part 1

This sword build is no specific hobbit's sword.
This idea came form BFX on there video here

The main difference is that I used Mild Steel and not aluminium.
Mild steel is much cheaper and you can buy it by the meter, also It adds
some weight to the sword.

I used a 3mm thick piece by 40mm. The total length is 600mm, I cut is down a bit. It only cost me $1.65 for the entire piece of metal.

I'm going to use craft foam for the coating of the blade and EVA foam for the handle and stuff.

Is is the sword so far, 

This is the sword compared with a 40cm ruler.
