Over-Thinking Fantasy: Keyblade, Frostmourne, Dante's Rebellion, Etc

There is so much fantasy happening here...

Obviously we all know that video game swords and other weapons are often created with nothing but coolness in mind, far removed from mundane reality. Sometimes it's amusing to over-think just how impractical they would be IRL though, and even to handle a physical reproduction to get a feel for exactly what's going on here.

What I'm showing in this video (most of them are made as wallhangers, NOT battle-ready):

Keyblade inspired by Fatal Crest from Kingdom Hearts II
