Shinobu Kochou - Nichirin Blade (Demon Slayer)

3D Model

Shinobu’s sword from the anime “Demon Slayer”

This model is my attempt at creating a realistic version of the sword from the “Demon Slayer” anime. I used references of the sword featured in the show, as well as references of actual katanas to achieve this effect.

Some of the features on the sword are not present on the anime sword (Namely: the butterfly shaped menuki, and the meguki peg). These parts were added to make the sword feel more realistic, as almost all real katana’s have these parts.
