So, do you plan on choreographing fights or dueling? Or is it more of a show blade?
Yes, ideally, make it the slightly smaller as the "male insert" side of the plug. I've heard making it smaller or drilling a hole in the center of the mirror increases tip illumination as well (and as stated above).
Onto Material Suggestions:
-Aluminum tape, as suggested by BartElroy.
-Aluminum Foil (Glossy/Shinny side for the reflective part?)
-"Reflective Tape" of any kind, depending on the color.
-A smart-phone "mirror screen" attachment/screen cover that you cut to size. It adds a mirrored effect to smartphone screens, and at certain angles you can see the screen. Great for privacy, horrible for the sunny state I live in! I had one on my last phone and removed it due to the sun burning my eyes.. Now I want to try this.
-If you use a small "Normal Mirror", aka glass, don't duel with it.
May be a wise idea to hit up a local hardware store and ask for "Highly visible" or "Highly Reflective" Hazard-esq tape.
