Man at Arms-Oathkeeper

[Sephiroth0812]

hey, if the made the buster sword.....

Compared to Lexaeus' Tomahawk Sword, the Buster Sword is a Knife weight-wise.
The cutscenes in Re: Chain of Memories show just how heavy this thing truly is.

i want to see them make lexaeus' claymore next, what a challenge that would be.

They don't make it a habit to make blunt object weapons. They will make anything as long as it has a sharp edge to it.

So something like Sephiroth's Masamune (although there could be problems due to length, not even real Nodachis are that long) or Auron's sword would be more on their turf?

Well, the original Man At Arms made the sword. I don't imagine Reforged would have much difficulty.

Oh, Reforged also did Auron's sword xD

Holey Moley, they already did both. o_0
Heheh, 7'2" long...that's if I calculate right more than 2 meters.
There's no way a weapon like that could be used effectively in a real combat situation...but it looks totally awesome and would surely make a nice decoration on the wall...if the wall is long enough to hold it...;P

Auron's sword is also an 1a Replica...these guys really know their stuff.
If they would sell all those either to Square or a Museum they would probably make quite some money.

Not if the mugger comes equipped with a gun.
Then it's the classical "don't bring a blade to a gun fight"-scenario, even when said blade is 7'2" long.

That being said, Sephiroth himself is shown to sometimes carry the thing on his back and sometimes just teleporting it to his hand.
The real thing though, if you had a scabbard for it, how would you draw a blade this long?
By the time you get it fully drawn out, you're probably already dead, *ggg*...

if who you were battling were honorable they would get tired and bored by the time it's drawn and you have an advantage. or they leave.

This would be hilarious!

Mugger: Hey you, yeah you mate!
Mate: What, me?
Mugger: Yeah you, I am gonna rob you!
Mate: Waaiiit!
Mugger: What the...
Mate: I have a weapon!
Mugger:...
Mate: *starts take out the Masamune
15 minutes later..
Mugger: ... Oh screw this, I´m out.
Badass Mate: Ha haa, I am ready to fight and badass now!
.....
Badass Mate: Uhh, hello..?
....
Badass Mate: Anybody here?

Back to discussion. A friend of mine was once considering to buy a Buster Sword replica, but the price was too high, and he did not have any place to put it.
Now they only need to make Oblivion, so people can get their ass kicked by the Key of Destiny outside of KH2FM.

The original Man At Arms guys even gave the Kingdom Key a sharp edge, even though it's not supposed to...

Anyway, I love what Reforged did with the Oathkeeper, and I always love seeing the process that goes into these things. If they do something from Kingdom hearts again (which I'm sure they will considering how many in designs in Keyblades alone there are) I hope it's the Oblivion next.

 

[Rael_Oblivion]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this, Swoosh! I liked the way they added blue and yellow-tinged areas where Oathkeeper actually has blue and yellow. If they do Oblivion next (which I'd want more than Oathkeeper), do you think they'd add an actual chain to the blade or just make an etching of some kind, not the mention the gem? Food for thought.

i'm really curious to see how fenrir would come out. the x-blade and MX's keyblade also. just imagine.
