Master Sword and Pedestal by Xenonray – via Nintendo Papercraft

Whoa! This is awesome: Gajitz blog has a nice compendium of the various papercrafts inspired by the Zelda games. I remember fondly playing Zelda II: The Adventure of Link on my NES oh so many years ago.

Samurai Umbrella

Posted by Alex in Gadget, Pictures on September 4, 2009 at 3:33 am


Samurai Umbrella – $29.95

The rain is no match for the Samurai Umbrella – this heavy duty umbrella has a fun samurai sword-style handle. The heavy duty yet light weight umbrella comes complete with a nylon scabbard so you can sling it across your shoulder just like you would a real samurai sword.

So, make like a samurai (or is that Boy Scout? Anyways …) and be prepared for a rainy day and get yourself this Samurai Umbrella. Or get two so you can play fight with a buddy on sunny days.

Limited quantity over yonder at the Neatorama Shop: Link

Cutting Edge Weapons: 10 Unusual Knives, Swords and Blades

Posted by Queuebot in Weapons & War on June 8, 2009 at 7:30 pm

Whether we like it or not, weapons play a pivotal role in human history. Most of them are simple and ruthlessly practical, whereas others evolved to become highly ornate, to the point that they could no longer be used as actual weapons but as ceremonial pieces instead.

Socyberty has an interesting post about the 10 most unusual blades (including knives and swords) from around the world. Take, for example, the katar shown to the left:

The Katar, shown in the introduction, is a short punching sword from India. The hand fitted into the grip so that the blade was above the knuckles. It was a weapon used by the Rajput, referred to as “the most valiant warriors of the Indian sub continent.”

Used in close combat the blades were said to be able to punch through armour.
