The Retractable Banana Katana

If you’ve ever dreamed of wielding a sword shaped like a banana (and let’s be honest, who hasn’t?), the Banana Longsword is the glorious, goofy creation you didn’t know you needed. Whether you’re a seasoned maker or just looking for a weekend laugh, the Banana Katana is a perfect blend of absurdity and engineering.

What Is the Banana Katana?

This isn’t your average cosplay prop. The Banana Katana is a modular, magnet-snapping, extendable sword that looks like it was forged in the produce aisle of a ninja supermarket. It’s part of a growing arsenal of fruit-themed weapons, and it’s here to make your 3D printer feel like a comedy dojo.

How to Build Your Banana Katana

Download the model - it’s free, fun, and ready to print.

Print the parts using yellow filament for that authentic banana vibe.

Insert magnets into the designated slots. No glue required, but you can add some if you want extra durability.

Snap it together and feel the power of potassium coursing through your fingertips.

The Banana Katana is ripe for remixing. Makers have already created alternate versions, display stands, and even matching fruit-themed accessories. If you’re feeling extra nutritious, combine it with other fruit weapons for a full Fruit Ninja cosplay loadout.

Download it, print it, and prepare to wield the most potassium-packed blade in the 3D printing universe.
