Bloodborne Saw Cleaver Replica Build 

Thanks! Sometimes you gotta use wierd and slightly dangerous nonconventional methods when you make your own stuff!

Thank you very much, that means a lot to me!

Thank you! It's very efficient against beasts ;)

Thanks! That seems like a very fun thing to do for a school project! I got more projects in the works and the plan is to be more consistent with making videos in 2024!

The wrappings would just get destroyed if I started swining this at something and I didn't want to redo them again. But say if it was some type of greatsword it would have been more fitting to do a real test!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the process!

Thanks! \(T)/

Thanks, I'm honored!

Thank you! I got a lot of cool projects planned for the future! Also how disappointing that it never got finished, hopefully you didnt have to pay for something you never actually got!

@@Robenbuilds I did get refunded luckily. Still disappointing, but hey it happens.

Thanks! Yea, it's a replica from a video game and they tend to be more focused on cool designs rather then being practical. To me it's not only a memorable item from something I enjoy, but also a good oppertunity to do some creative and fun metal work! It's actually fitting that you mention a metal lathe becuase I have spent quite a lot of time refurbishing a 1960s swedish made metal lathe since late last year! There is only some final touches and rewiring that needs to be done, then I can try it out and use it in future projects/videos!

@@Robenbuilds well I can certainly tell that you have amazing skills so a lathe will just be that enhancement to go that much further Keep creating and … we’ll all be watching!! AND by the way, it takes time to build up subscriptions but I’ll bet you’ll go far.

Thank you! I usually collect a lot of scrap materials whenever I get the opportunit, so I try and save some cost and by doing that. For this project the only material I purchased was the big plate, other costs would be the consumables like chemicals, welding gas/wire and grinding discs etc. When it comes to the tools, this is something that I have built up slowly over a long period of time and since I love making things they will always stay useful. The collection of tools will hopefully grow even more with time so that I can make more and even cooler projects!

I'm going to do that at some point for sure!

Thank you! Bloodborne is my favorite souls game and I will definitely make more things from it in the future!

Thanks!

Thanks! I agree, the beast cutter is really cool and would make for an interesting project! It would be a fun design challange to make a funcitonal mechanism for that one!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks, I plan on making more projects this year and I got many ideas so stay tuned!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! I got a many cool projects planned that I want to make videos of. They do take quite a lot of time to put together so stay tuned!

Thanks!

@@Robenbuilds I'm not into games no more like I was when I was a kid! But you made me look up the game cause I've never heard of it b4 and other ppls examples of that tried to make the same thing! Honestly everyone else's versions are 3D printed and are trash! I think u went thru 4 beards but stayed boss to keep that same shirt! That's commitment! 🤣 if you sell it that should be sold for high 4- to 5 figures for just the time and attention to detail! Good luck!

Thanks, that is nice to hear!

Thanks! I appreciate the confusion I guess haha

Thanks! Yea, there is a lot of things on these game builds that will requrie some out of the box thinking to make some parts more accurate, let alone possible to create in real life :)

@@Robenbuilds yeah! And especially since those weapons have been designed by, well, designers, and not actual craftspeople. So a lot of it's practicalities are left to interpretation!

🦧👍

Glad you liked it, that is motivating to hear!

Thanks! I have spent a lot of time thinking about this and I think many of them are possible to create replicas of, but with varying levels of difficulty. It comes down to how "usable" they need be and how accurate you want them. Some things requires some artistic decision making that might not be 100% accurate, just to make them possible to create. An example: The burial scythe can probably not be used to hit hings with while it is in the scythe form, it will not be strong enough to withstand any real abuse. There is just too many points of weakness if it's made accurate. While the sword form would definitely be useable. I think this is fine as long as you can hold it and pose with it while its in the scythe form.

👀

For sure! I've considered both of them and at some point I will get around to it

Thanks! I think it kind of makes sense, they are like tiger claws that digs in and slashes when you swing the saw cleaver while its folded. But oh boi, wait until you see the geometry of the teeth on the in-game model up close haha.

Fear not, for I will return with more videos

Of course I read comments! I love to hear what people have to say and I always try to answer. The plate I cut out and started making the blade from is 680x300x10 mm

@@Robenbuilds OH COOL! Honestly when I get the tools possible for this kind of thing I want to try making blood borne weapons in real life. I've decided my first attempt would be a saw spear that's heavily slimmed down.

@@Robenbuilds Also what was the stuff you rubbed on after the gun blue stuff you sprayed? Or was that just a rag?

@@bluewolf5521 I really like the saw spear aswell so that would be super cool! Regarding the question, After I applied the chemical I used some fine steel wool to polish some off the "loose" oxides off the surface. When you do cold blueing like this on larger parts it tends to come out kind of blotchy, and if you carefully polish the surface while it's still wet with the chemical it makes the finish more consistent.

@@Robenbuilds I would recommend the use of magnets for the saw spear, I looked at it a few times and the who transforming part seems hard as it's not visible. Though doubt such a thing would work for in game version.

I like to think it's to hide from the stench of putrid blood, what do you think?

@@Robenbuilds i think it's a really good explanation

Eyyy thanks! I was originally going to stain the wrappings and splatter some ink/paint on the blade to get that dried in blood look. However, I tried both inks and acrylics that I already had available and I wasn't happy with any the test pieces I did. It either looked comically red or way to muddy so I just decided to leave it as is for now. I like to imagine that this is basically the saw cleaver that you spawn with before you start hunting any beasts. Because if you look at the saw cleaver in-game the blade and the wrappings are not particularly bloody before you have been in combat!
