There is actually "purpose" to the hole and the blade is supposed to be indestructible, but yeah, it's a little cringe-y thinking about it as a sword irl.

>You could make everything from the hilt up to the bottom of the blade (looks like about one-third of the sword) from a stronger material (foamboard or a lightweight wood?)
To do this would require I saw my sword in half vertically - I'm carving from a thick piece of foam so I'm only working with one piece (versus the sandwich method). I'm trying to think of other methods to strengthen it that would also keep it intact... How much structure does wood glue add (if any)?
