Here is the 36" piece cut down to 32" , I ground a taper into the tip for light refraction & polished the emmiter end to high luster clear for light transmission. I then sanded the whole blade down for a rough finish & then clear coated it with satin clear enamel. I then used a 2" section of heavy blade to choke down the 3/4" section
This is mounted in my jedi katana running an amber luxeon
