5. 
   The figure needs to be turned over again. Now you need to fold the blade for the future sword. For this, the side corners, which are located on the upper (extreme) layer of paper, must be folded parallel to the central vector. As a result, the folds obtained must be in contact with the contour of the axis. The figure must be turned over again, after which the wedges of the future sword should be bent to the center.

6. 
   Once again the part is turned over, afterthat the wedges need to be straightened. The lower corner will need to be pulled to the right side and open the workpiece. You will get a kind of triangle. The lower part of this fragment should be combined with the vertical contour of the workpiece for the future sword in the origami technique.

7. 
   By the contours of the resulting inflectionto form a part. In its outlines, it should resemble the ear of a rabbit. The form needs to be folded down, after which exactly the same action is performed with the left side of the structure.

8. 
   Now you need to designate the hilt of the sword from the paper. To do this, the lower corner of the fragment will need to be turned to the right side. On the diagonal contours, it should be bent.

9. 
   Such actions should be carried out on both sides. The result is a kind of fence for the sword hilt. After that, the fragment must be turned over.

10.
