surprised they didnt try swinging it in a side slash instead of an overhead chop i'd imagine something of that size and weight would be alot more lethal from a side angle.

And a LOT harder to handle. Possibly injuring yourself in the process.

Found comments regarding the Berserk sword he made, which apparently was lighter (as he could actually use it)... apparently it cuts like ass on the side swing. I'd guess air resistance, making it act more like a crappy wing than a blade?

Anyway: Cute as they are, he apparently works with unhardened sheet steel and just does welding and grinding. I imagine a proper smith could do a slightly better job of making a... ahm... functional Buster sword.  I'm not a proper smith, however, so I'd probably make the damn thing out of aluminum and just add a hard steel 'edge' piece for the cutty bits.
