How do you fold a sword?

An origami sword is a traditional Japanese samurai weapon and one of the common themes in the art of origami. The process of making an origami knife is complex and requires patience and skill.

Here are the simple steps for folding a sword:

Prepare a square of paper, preferably with specialized origami paper.

Fold the paper diagonally and unfold it.

Fold the left and right sides of the paper in half, then unfold.

Fold the top and bottom sides of the paper in half, then unfold.

Fold each of the four corners of the paper to the center point.

Fold the two triangles on the diagonal of the paper inward to form a smaller square.

Fold this small square in half along the centerline and fold the wing portions of the sides inward.

Finally, fold the handle portion of each side outward to complete the folding knife.

The above are only the basic steps of knife folding, the specific folding method needs to be mastered through practice. In the process of folding the knife, you need to pay attention to the position and angle of the crease to ensure that the final folding knife structure is strong and beautiful.
