Kusarigama

This is my prop Kusarigama, another ancient Japanese weapon like the nunchuku. It's a sickle/miniature scythe attached to a chain, with a weight on the other end. It's recently been shown as Michaelangelo's weapon on the newest TMNT show (the blade's hidden in one nunchuku stick with extra chain in the other half). And yes, kusarigama's are traditionally made with chain instead of string, but I work with what I've got.

Materials used:

Cardboard tubing

Aluminum foil

cardboard

red & silver duct tape

PVC pipe

insulating foam

hot glue

metal wire,

Elmer's glue

string

brown paper from an old shopping bag.

Anyone have any other prop requests/suggestions? (NOTE: Must be affordable on a CHEAP budget)
