Among the Internet celebrity fashion products in April, "Hardware Holy Sword" must be among them.
It is said that this trend originated from Zhihu's answer to "why is a man a teenager until he dies", the respondent recalled that he once used the water pipe in the construction site to assemble a sword, which was originally made by himself to play, but was favored by the boss of Party A who came to inspect the construction site, and then the boss also specially brought some copper water pipes and asked him to assemble a golden sword.
In the comment area below, someone posted a physical picture made by others, which can be said to verify the feasibility of the production, the golden gauntlet and the tip of the sword complement each other, and the scabbard made of a thicker water pipe is a kind of beauty of doing a full set of plays. Netizen comments: It's handsome.
Then there is a variety of physical reproduction, after all, every region is indispensable to the hardware and building materials sales department, no matter how poor there are advanced online shopping skills, like this kind of standardized formation is naturally easy to reproduce.

It's nominally a "sword", but it's obviously actually a "stick", and this part of the blade can be completely repaired by imagination.
The reason why the hardware holy sword is so cool, Hand Tan Ji thinks there are two points, one is that the love for this weapon is engraved in people's DNA, and the other is that the DIY attribute of the holy sword is also very interesting.
Brother Dao quoted the concept of "stick and rope" when talking about the creative concept of "Death Stranding", both of which have strong interactive attributes, while "stick" is more aggressive. From the perspective of human history, the stick is one of the means of extending the human senses, and many games have club-like initial weapons such as crowbars, bats, water pipes, and wooden sticks, as well as long or short club-like weapons in many works. It's hard for humans to resist the allure of a stick.
When I was a child, I lived in the village for a while, and "Stick Battle" was one of the common game items, and each little friend would always have a few excellent weapons to pick up, such as the light but easy to break of the sycamore, the easy to obtain from the poplar, and the strong and smooth touch of the elm, but the need to add cushioning props for the hands...... Almost all kids have played with this, right?
From this point of view, the love of weapons may be the nature of human beings, and when you hold a weapon, you will smile from the bottom of your heart.
There's nothing cooler than DIY a weapon yourself, some time ago I watched Miyazaki's new movie, in which the protagonist made a bamboo bow in the countryside, and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic - we also played this when we were children, in order to make the bow and arrow farther and more accurate, we will also make arrows, increase feathers, and strengthen the bow body in real life. Of course, you can't play against people, but when the bow and arrow shoot through the plastic foam more than ten meters away, a sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.
In the related categories that have become popular with "hardware holy sword", you can see various forms such as war hammers, snake spears, two-handed swords, etc., it can be seen that some people's love for this kind of weapon is not only in the holy sword itself, hardware equipment can theoretically make a variety of weapons, even without using water pipes, using wine boxes and cartons to make robot holsters, and using iron door bolts as snipers, can harvest millions of "wow, so handsome" attention.

Originally, I wanted to buy hardware parts for an assembly, but then I retreated, because these devices were calculated, and they had to be about 80 yuan, which was more than double the psychological expectation. Although it is much cheaper than this hardware holy sword compared with the two-dimensional periphery, 80 yuan is enough to buy a sturdy long-handled umbrella, which can not only be used as a holy sword, but also as an umbrella, and is it not more practical in the upcoming rainy season?
Personally, I feel that this holy sword is with the attribute of "poor and happy", once the price exceeds a certain amount, the power of assembly is not so strong, and the nature of the feeling has changed, of course, some people compare the price of water pipe parts with Lego Gundam, which is a lot more affordable.
Is there a more popular DIY play? Ji thinks that disposable chopsticks for takeaway delivery are a good material, and you can also make a wooden model or something after saving, but it is more glue-intensive. Some people say plastic bottles, plastic bottles can't be used because they have to be sold for money.
