Mono-Filament Sword
Strung between the two retaining rings (one at sword tip, one at sword guard) is a single strand of mono-filament wire. Just one molecule thick it can cut through most materials. The inside edge of the curved blade is sharpened. The wire opens a wound channel and the blade follows it. Designed to defeat passive (Kevlar) armour, active powered armour and most deadly, vacuum suits. One strike against a vacuum suit during an EVA is almost assuredly an instant kill. The sword has no ability to thrust, creating a slashing style of attack.

This was inspired by an injection molded pallet lid we use at work. I did a quickie thumbnail sketch while at work so that I wouldn't lose the idea. I've included it to show a bit of the creative process. The end result has the same look but not an exact copy of the original idea. I'm really happy with how this sketch came out.
The darker grey areas are the high spots, the lighter grey areas are sloped to dull edges. The actual edges are flat ground. The three round areas are spheres as noted. The two areas bracketing the shaft are trumpet shaped. This would be an all metal weapon.

The arc goes the end of the handle all through the shaft and up to the blade tip, with an edge on the outside (I merely said scimitar as it was curved, forgetting it's blade-sidedness) The Handle is about 15", blade at 28". Total blade length 43", the ratio is about 1:2, blade width no bigger then 1 and a half inches wide. The only ornamentation are the studs on the handle.
I want it to look like it is one piece of material, not two stuck together, thus no hand guard ok?

Holy crap!!!
This is the best thread ever.
You guys do incredible work.
Where do you find the time?
Tetsubo, your wood grain texture is unbelievable.
Keep the artwork coming.
I have a character with bracers of archery (if you get time maybe you could crank out a little something with an elven flair).
