Pirate Sword (No glue, assembles smooth! And who doesn't want to be a pirate, deep down?)

Are you a pirate? Well, I'm not, but you can become one. To be clear, this is not an endorsement of piracy itself; I'm just here to give you a sword. The blade is 0.375" thick, making it the slimmest I've produced so far. Its eight major segments are shorter than those of my first two swords, meaning that smaller printers can finally join the party. The full cutlass is just under 31" long, making it also the shortest entry in my armory thus far. Consequently, this lightweight prop bends more than the others when handled—but remains durable. Speaking of handles, I came up with a fun two-piece design I think y'all will enjoy. As usual, no supports necessary! Further instructions are below. Ignore them at your own risk… Consider them your Code of the Pirate Brethren, set down by the pirates Morgan and Bartholomew. But yes, as fans of a certain film series are aware: “The code is more what you’d call ‘guidelines’ than actual rules.” This design was a request from one of my harshest critics and biggest supporters. They know who they are (other than the proud owner of a shiny new pirate sword). If you want to suggest future projects, I am prioritizing the design ideas sent by my Patrons.
