Dragon Quest: Roto's Swordby ~Soynuts

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Props & Accessories

So after working on this sword off and on for the past 2 months, it is finally complete! I am extremely happy with how the whole thing turned out. This is my 2nd time making a sword completely out of wood and my first time doing a wooden scabbard.

The sword is about 50 inches in length total. The sword + scabbard weigh about

Here is a short youtube video showcasing the sword: [link]

His free plans were very helpful as well. It saved me time from having to sketch it out myself.

I've been considering make a replica of Roto's Sword for cosplay and yours turned out great from what I can see!

My only concern are the runes on the blade: From what I can tell they translate to "jakd evorh" (some of the runes are hard to make out, so I could be mistaken) using the Elder Futhark runic system. Here's a link to the converter I used. [link]

Is that right? I want to do it correctly, with the official inscription for the sake of authenticity, so I figured I'd ask.
