Inspired by the Netflix “Castlevania” series, this is Alucard’s magical estoc – a long, thin bladed, one handed sword he uses through much of the series.

At default size, blade measures approximately 90cm long, 3cm wide (35″ x 1.2″) at the base with a distal taper along the length. Overall sword is approximately 109cm long, 20cm wide (43″ x 8″).

To assemble the sword, be sure to keep the blade sections in their correct order. Dry fit the parts to be sure everything fits properly together, as the slight taper of the blade will make the order critical (similarly for the scabbard). After assembling the sections together, you can insert a 1/8″ thick dowel or metal rod for support.

 

At this point, all parts of similar colors should be ready for finishing work – bondo, sanding, and painting.

 

Final assembly involves sliding the guard onto the base of the blade, followed by the grip, followed by the pommel. The guard is an intentionally tight fit onto the blade, and will not require glue, but gluing the grip and pommel is important.

To finish the scabbard, glue on the encap and emblems. Sword should fit snugly into the scabbard.
