Halopedia says:

* Energy Sword (Halo 1)
o length: 126.5 centimeters (4.15 feet)
o width: 47 centimeters (1.5 feet)
o thickness: 9.1 centimeters (3.6 inches)
* Energy Sword (Halo 2)
o length: 131.7 centimeters (4.321 feet)


I made mine 36" long, approx 12" wide.


Others here have made it:Nanuu, 619deathstar, Trintlord, and some others, I'm sure. The search tool is useful for this.

..but thats coming from me... which is not what you asked for.

Baring in mind It's made for Elites. Which happen to be double the size of a normal Human being.

Well, I'm always willing to help but if you just look at my advice as 'having a go at you', it won't be of much help.

It wasn't anything personal, if I came off as a little gruff I apologize. I was just being truthful and to the point.

Sincerely though, you should just have a try at drawing the energy sword templates yourself. If I (or anybody else here) just hands off everything to you you won't learn very much.

Best of luck, and don't hesitate to ask when you do run into a problem that you can't solve by yourself with a little effort!

 

[trintlord]

By working you mean lights and all or ability to cut

For lights I would just throw a string of mini-led's from micro-mark: here

the reason i asked for blade templates is my drawing sucks

im guessing to 12"wide is the whole sword

do you think blue or cyan EL wire will be better. El wireI think the blue one

 

[stick83]

i saw one the other day on onother website but i didt want it

 

[trintlord]

Aqua or Blue, or both!

Did you see the EL sheets? you could find a way to use that to make the sword.

aqua for the color, comparison
