Sokka Style p.1

Here be my Sokka boomerang and machete.  This awesome guy named Justin from Foggy Mountain Forge made these for me.  Check him out on Etsy!

So, here be the boomerang in the sheath that a friend of mine and I made.  I have dyed the leather (first time dying leather, btw), and my buddy cut out the pieces from a big roll of leather I bought a few months ago from Tandy Leather.  

I'm not done yet, since I still wanna dye the top of it with that black triangle pattern that Sokka has on his sheath.  I'll likely be purchasing a wood burning kit to help out with that.



Here is the boomerang unsheathed   Justin, the guy from Foggy Mountain Forge, did some awesome work on it.  

Obviously, it's not a returning boomerang.  If it was, methinks I'd be in some trouble when it came zipping back to me.  I have given it a couple of good throws, and it does throw REALLY good.  Rawk.






Here be a better closeup of the boomerang in the sheath.  I really like the work my buddy Chris did with the lacing.













Here be what the sheath looks like being worn.  Chris and I did our best.  We reaaaaaaaaaally tried to get it to sit like Sokka's, but just couldn't get it to work.  Instead, we just loosened up the straps so I can just pull it forward when I want to draw it out.  

Still works, just can't do the uber fast draw like in the cartoon.

Rawk.  Sokka's machete.  Other when he used it to shave when he was living in Ba Sing  Se, I really don't remember him using it much. Again, cooked up by Justin from Foggy Mountain Forge, the thing is awesome.  

In the cartoon, the machete had a wrapped handle.  Anybody who has ever handled a weapon before and swung something around knows a simple wrapped handle can be very uncomfortable, hence the wood pinned grip we have on here.  I got the best toys.  Rawk.



So, obviously I can't bring this stuff into AR with me, which is a bummer.  Still, I like collecting swords and sharp smashy stuff, and the two items above easily fit that criteria.  More updates as them come.  Rawk.
