have you tried making a sword chuck with real swords? I know it would cost some extra money but it'd really be worth it to see a genuine sword chuck used as a weapon.

That's an interesting proposal, TBH the entire design process thus far has been geared toward the current model and only the current model... sure the length, width, materials and wick application may have changed, but the MACHINE principle was constant.
So, now that I think about it-- if we change the machine principle slightly the application of the swung sword MIGHT be viable... just change the chain to a tether with linearly pivots, like a bike chain does, and then you have a swung weight with a constant plane of weight face. I'll take our wooden sparring shortswords and try to rig something up and play with the design. Thanks!
Edit- I've arranged a session with our artist this week, if we get around to drawing up the blueprints for this new design I'll post them up... or if it's beta designs of the fighter armor then I'll post those.
