This is possibly the coolest weapon that Buffy uses, maybe even a little cooler than the Slayer Scythe.
I'm curious if anyone has considered making it or knows of someone who has?
Anyway, I'm on this and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts or observations they would like to share?
My Reaper will be full size(which means a bit bigger than it appears in the game keeping in mind how small the character is)
and made from steel which will mean it will be difficult if not impossible to ship Internationally.
I've been looking but can't find any images of the Reaper from the first game on-line.
I'll be pulling my own images later today and up-date here when I have some.

I'm wondering if you mean the Reaper blade itself or the Reaper wing? Both were pretty awesome, imo.

Well, as you will recall the "wing" was an attachment placed on the handle which made the whole thing fly and return like a boom-a-rang.Since I don't have the ability to create that sort of thing I was referring to the Blade itself.
It might be cool though to make something down the road that would be a light up attachment in brass (the handle appears to be gold in color) that could be added on for ornamentation and to light the green crystal in the handle.
Thanks for the idea!

Here is the pic I came up with of Buffy with The "Reaper Blade"
I created this image by basically taking a picture of my TV Screen at that point of the game (not great I know)
And here is the template I created and have sent off to my machinist for cutting in steel:

Shaping up! I plan to do some contour grinding on the blades and then an acid wash over all.
Remember:It's supposed to be from 12th Century Germany.

First Reaper Blade Cut-Out and grinding begun. For size reference that's a sixteen year old girl holding it. (Thanks Kya!) This thing is awesome and feels great in the hand.
I can't wait to finish the grinding/shaping then age it with an acid wash and get the handle with fittings mounted.

Hey! Thanks for looking and for commenting.
I too find myself going back to the game quite a bit and am a little bummed that XBox 360 chooses to support the FIRST one but not the second...
what's up with that?
Anyway, kinda thinking about making a certain amulet from the game as well, can you guess which one?
More progress pics on the Reaper Blade soon!

That really looks fantastic. ;D As I said before, one of the coolest weapons ever.
Also, by the second game, did you mean Chaos Bleeds? I have an Xbox 360 and it works all right (though with a little bit of lag) with it.

Yes I was talking about Chaos Bleeds.
When I got it out of storage and popped it into my 360 it basically said that it wasn't supported.
Are you in a different region by any chance(I'm in region one) or does region have anything to do with it?
I'll give it another try and see if it will work, who knows? Maybe they up-dated it.
Thanks for checking out the Reaper Blade!
I'm in the process of finishing up some props that have been ordered but when they are done
I'll be adding a proper handle with a light up green jewel in the middle.

No, I'm also in Region 1. However, the last time I played it was in May of last year, and it was on the latest Xbox 360 of the time, so they probably did update it. Hope it works for you. |

Thanks everyone!
I'll definitely post some pics of the finished Blades when they're done.
This week I'm creating the mold to cast the jewels for the handle and figuring out the wiring
for 10 watt LED's that I'm using on either side of it.
We'll see if it can all come together this week!
