Winter Soldier Cosplay Rear Knife(s) & Sheath - Gerber Yari Tanto ii

thingiverse

This is a cosplay prop that I modeled from the Gerber Yari Tanto Knifes that Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier) carries on his back. He had two of these in the movie attached to the rear of his belt. The Knife prints as a single piece without any supports and finishes well. The Sheath prints as a main piece and lid to allow you to print it without supports. Some minor filing may be necessary of the inside to ensure the knife fits well in the sheath. Once glued together (I used super glue) the sheath works as you would expect with the knife easily sliding inside of the sheath and being held there when being carried. To finish I first sanded, then used a filler primer, then painted the entire knife black. I then masked off the blade and other "metal parts" and painted the rest and the sheath with plasti-dip. For my Winter Soldier cosplay I glued the knife inside of the sheath so there wasn't any concerns at the con.
