Cosplay Prop - Kadaj's Souba

This is Kadaj's Souba from Final Fantasy, entirely hand made. Two bladed Katana if you're not familiar.
Reference: [link] - Evidently a few of their details are wrong, like the colour of the handle-wrapping, but you get the picture.

I hate the blades... I can never get them perfect... But I'm fairly pleased with the way it turned out.
