Tony Swatton - bring your cosplay to another level of awesomeness. If you can have a chance to carry the real lethal cold weapon, of course. Laughing

The comments section on that video is full of people whining about how "it's supposed to be wielded with one hand".....

Why is that even an issue!?

Just admire the fact that he made the thing in the first place and how awesome it looks!

I'm not even a fan of SAO and it looks good as a real life weapon.

They've also made an awesome Keyblade and a version of Ichigo's sword.

Really love that guys work. He's been doing a great job of keeping up with a lot of the requests.

One of my personal favorites he made was the Falchion from Fire Emblem Awakening.

Yeah, I mean I get wanting it to be as close as possible to the one in the anime. But what can work in an anime doesn't necessarily work in real life. Especially, in an anime that takes place in an MMO. Next stop Inception's limbo.

I'm sure those same people would complain about them needing more than one person to lift Cloud's Buster Sword.

Anyways, been waiting for him to make this one for awhile. Hopefully he'll do Dark Repulser eventually.

I've actually been waiting for Mr. Swatton to finally forge Elucidator. Impressive work, as always. It would definitely be awesome if he could forge Dark Repulser as well.

I'm pretty sure they complain about the people who use the sword being weak. Strong people can wield that sword with one hand.
OR
Maybe they meant, that guy always make a look alive sword, but not in very good quality(like real sword forging) and use cheap metal that's why it's heavy.
