ED1 Kandarian Dagger 2016 Replica (Third Attempt)
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2020 8:09 am
This was my third attempt in 2016 at a Kandarian Dagger replica, again modelled after ED1, to both correct some of the errors in the previous version I made (see here) and take more time over the construction of the hilt. For the most part, the materials & processes are the same as the original project, but with a few little differences; the blade & hilt can now be separated (the blade is held in as it's a tight fit), also the blade is aluminium as per the screen-used version, and there is blood tubing running from the hole next to the blade to the open mouth on the skull to allow the skull to bleed as per the screen-used version.
I was much happier with this version over the previous one. Once I was able to compare them, I realized just how inaccurate the first one was. As the blade is removable, I could in theory, create an Evil Dead II style bone blade which could be simply swapped out, but for now I'm happy with it the way it is. I still own this replica as of 2020. You can read more at this link, and see photos below
