The Making of an Invisible and Indestructible Sword

✨Polycarbonate is a material that is transparent and 10 times more impact resistant than steel by weight, making it ideal for creating an invisible sword.

🔪The process involved cutting and shaping the polycarbonate to create the blade and handle of the sword.

🔍By using a specific grinding technique, the sword was made transparent by smoothing out the angle between the spine and the bevel.

💪Despite its size, the sword remains lightweight due to the lighter weight of polycarbonate compared to steel.

🎨The sword's handle was created by gluing additional layers of polycarbonate to the original handle and shaping it to perfection.
