Step 12

  1. Select all the verts at the base of the blade.
  2. Extrude (E) about 1 unit.

  4. Select one of our new edges across.
  5. Select the Edge Loop (Ctrl-E).
  6. Slide the Edges (Ctrl-E) up close to the upper edge.

Step 14

  1. Adjust the outer edges outwards about 1 unit.
  2. Translate the right edge that was previously the blade of the katana right about 3 units.

Step 15

  1. Select both of the inner edges.
  2. Move to the Front view (Numpad 1).
  3. Move the two edges up about 1 unit.
