would've loved to see more sword

3:47 here you can see I believe one of his neighbors in the background near the red door lol

A SWAX

This the biggest switch blade ever

yes but the problem with your fun creations is that slimplicty is best, the more complicated the more chances somthing breaks

Bloodborne the movie looking crazy

Charge Blade next?

Bet it would be much better if milled

If you read my comment from last time the new one know that you can improve the design by having half of the handle slide up with the crossguard you could hold on to for a better grip and you could easily go back and forth from sword mode to axe mode by simply spreading your hands apart and bring them closer together

Awesome job

Its best to use a switch axe with a power phial

Oh boy. Cant wait for the charge blade to come out

Honesty, if you practiced with the slighlty extended blade, the off angle would definitely make the sword a "wild card" to anyone defending against it. It wouldnt make it "better" per se, but it would make it more interesting

When in between sword mode and axe mode, wouldn't it be a sort of "machete mode"? Like a falchion

This is so dope I wanna

I talked briefly with a guy that I learned blacksmithing with, and I can confidently say a Switch Axe, particularly the bulky anime-like one from Monster Hunter, the big axe and sword weapon, is physically possible… it just has some inherent problems. One, it would be hefty as hell; the weapon is already one of the heaviest single weapons in Monster Hunter, being a weapon that has a shift dodge at first, similar to the Lance weapons. The weapons heavier than it would be the Great Sword, the Charge Blade, and both Lances, and the Heavy Bowgun, and those usually either have low mobility, big shields, or just hit hard in the Great Sword's case, it is a slow weapon. Keep in mind Monster Hunter character consume effectively family size meals by themselves every hour, sometimes less than that, and yet don't get insanely fat but also swing these weapons around like they're nothing, so we're in a bit of a different league from them. And that's before we get into the next problem Two, structural stability. The part of the chat with the guy that led me to believe it is physically possibly was actually talking about the crucial part that makes the Switch Axe, well, the Switch Axe; the switching. A solid, hefty metal chain in the main structure of the weapon, with the axehead and sword blade attached to it, would allow basically laws of physics and energy transfer to allow a pulley system and gravity to move the axehead and sword around on the chain, allowing the weapon to, in real life, do at least some of the moves from in game that have the Switch Axe switch modes. The problem is this would structurally compromise the weapon if methods to address this are not properly done. This can result in even more weight from solid heavy parts to keep the part structurally sound, which might mean needing a motor to assist in the swinging of the parts, equalling more weight. The chain might need to be purposely built for the weapon, equaling potentially more weight. Really strong magnets could be a good alternative if handled right and positioned correctly, but that might lead to hefty price increases. Three, viability/practicality. This is the killer; no matter what, this would be a very impractical weapon. Not useful in modern day applications really at all, not useful in medieval combat, and funnily enough, by IRL standards, not useful for Monster Hunting. There's no way to fully eliminate the structural problems that comes from a pulley system actuated weapon, especially if being used to fight big monsters like the many types of wyverns. An actual swordsman on youtube did say the Great Sword can work for hunting monsters, given how much blade size the top of the blade had which'd aid in getting through the thick hide of a monster, which is a very practical way of saying it is reasonable by irl standards, but the Switch Axe, in the ways we could design it with modern realistic mechanics and blacksmithing would not be able to do it. However, it would make for one sick as hell woodcutting axe. Should the axehead be structurally stabilised so as not to wiggle around, and you have enough muscles to lift it (which you'd need to be one swole and bulky guy just in regards to weight), it would actually work exactly as it does in game, even if just for show. That was the part of the chat with the guy led me to conclude on if it was possible. Before that day, I thought it could be done, but the switching part would need to be done by hand, just like how a bunch of RWBY weapon cosplays do the weapon switching. But with a simple pulley system with a hefty chain to bear the weight, gravity and momentum, transfer of energy, a decent understanding of Newton's Laws of Physics, and a big amount of muscles, the crazy weapon switching as shown in the games is physically possible. And that is probably the best thing about the "Switch Axe" from Monster Hunter; the fact the weapon is even somewhat possible, if only just for show, was far more capable of being realistically done in real life, was incredible to me. Sure it'd take a bloody fortune of money to make even reasonably structurally sound, and the weight would be very great, especially if making it to size, but the weapon would be possible. Honestly, that's probably more insane than both the idea of thinking of making such a weapon and also the concept that it wouldn't be possible to make it one to one accurate to in game.

All that different stuff on makes dude look like a low-level RPG player who just found an epic legendary

Very entertaining

Awesome stuff You oughta be proud of yourself

I really want to see you make a charge blade. I think you've got it in you

Add a function for the blade to lock into both modes 👍

Pretty cool 👍

Is it perfect ... no ... but better than expected 👍

This sword is more simple than the whip sword which means it works better and is more durable

I like this MUCH better than the whip sword that was too flimsy and conplex

what we really need to see is you go back in time and use it in a war

I'll try spinning. That's a good move.

epic

Bro thought he was Corvo Attano

7:21 That's butted chainmail not riveted. Anything can go through that

If that sword has theeth it will be zabimaru

All MH characters are left-handed, you can use your dominant hand.

The joints will slowly shear given repeated use and the metal will also warp and make it stuck in axe form, but it’s not gonna break unless you use it for cutting a log in half.

Haters will always be haters, ...and *Petty Morons.* Your Switch Axe is awesome. I'd buy one.

MONSTER HUNTER MENTIONED!!!!!!!!🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 RAHHHHHH WHAT EVEN IS A REALISTIC WEAPON DESIGN🗣🗣🔥🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥🔥🔥

Alright, now time to hunt a Diablos with this

super cool

*casually cutting tread with a drill* "This is M3" O.o I have broken so many M3 blind hole taps by hand, i am not going to drill them in any machine that is not a CNC lol

The sword reminds me of shadow fight 2 sword

Didnt gypsy danger have a whip sword

On MyMiniFactory there is a working switch axe which you can 3d print that Looks and functions as in game. Its 3d printable and very detailed, but you may be able to get some ideas on a switch mechanism from that.

@TankTolman he would love this video

Quick question, why not make it out of CNR? I know its a pain in the butt to work on but i could imagine that it would improve the overall stability

IRL church pick chad i'd love to buy bloodborne weapons form you! i would like for one of the youtubers who make weapons like this to offer them for sale somehow i have yet to see it

MY COMMENT GOT IN!!!! AND IT'S THE FIRST ONE TOO!!!!! YEAHHHH!!

This is cool AF!

Bro made Sword From shadow fight 2

What cool build and what a great game, glad i played it awhile back

Njord, your patience is inspiring. Incredible to see you persevere! It would be so easy to give up with some of those setbacks. Well done
