One of the reasons why the blades may not be as curved as much as you would prefer is because they are meant to retract into his forearm. And there's only so much curve you can fit into that
Another thing they fail to consider is that unlike normal claws Logans claws are guided by both his muscle contraction and his finger position. Every time he releases them they peirce a new pathway through his flesh that heals over when he retracts them. also they would have a cross section more like a teardrop or axe blade, instead of a beveled shape loke a sword or knife . IJS
@@mrblaqfyre3130 This is another thing that "artistic license" screws up a lot. some art shows them as flat sharp blades. some shows them as more like... well... actual CLAWS, just really long. It got super weird when they had the "bone claws" phase since those were NEVER flat blades.... yet having adamantium coating... makes them flat blades?
@@mrblaqfyre3130 It is possible that he can also change their angle slightly with his muscles, which would explain the inconsistency in whether or not they are drawn splayed slightly or straight and parallel, and he could be aligning them straight when he stabs with them, and relaxing them into a splayed position when not actively stabbing, or splaying them wider if he wants to slash a wider area.
The thing with Wolverine's claws is that they are stored in his forearm, goes through his wrist, and then out of his knuckles. This means two things, one is that he has no wrist maneuverability and two is that his claws are ingrained into his forearms so they're not the same as if you're holding a handle with claws. They are very solidly in place. It is as if his entire forearms are claws rather than he holding a handle with claws.
That's not always the case, at least in some versions (explicitly shown in a scene in deadpool and wolverine) the claws fully pass through his wrist so the base of the claws rest in his hands granting him a greater range of motion. The claws not being as stable doesn't really matter since wolverine has super strength and his claws are so sharp the can cut between atoms.
I don't think its that way, I think the "butt" of the claws likely end in the hand once extended. Otherwise the claws would only be able to extend a very short distance. If you were to store them in your forearms up to the wrist then extending them into the hands would leave give or take a foot of claw sticking out...which lines up close enough to the movies.
@@michaelmegson2778 Excellent point. I would also suggest that having his wrists free to flex when striking actually enhances the functionality, because it lets him slice OVER a target rather than just chopping into it like an axe. If he cant cut through it, his wrist will flex and allow him to continue the cut instead of stopping.
The only way for wolverine’s claws to actually function when striking something is for his skeleton to brace or backup the impact of the strikes. That means that his skeleton must be held together in some fashion beyond just ligaments and tendons or his bones would pop out of place. Or his tendons and ligaments would have to be insanely strong. Since his claws never give due to the nature of adamantium, the object he is hitting or thrusting through must fail to repel adamantium or his claws could be pushed back into his hand bones, forearms etc, dislodging them in the process.
The same goes for nearly every major clawed hero/villian in the MCU, super exotic indestructible metal infused/bonded to either the body or an equivalent armor system. Like the claws by themselves don't seem to work until they over stack it with buffs.
Animal claw like cat's claw are most used to "catch" prey rather than slice them open. So naturally, they want to get caught in whatever they're clawing to keep them from running away. Their real killing weapon is their fangs.
@@alexmashkin863 bear claws are very blunt, they're far more for digging and bashing rather than slashing or tearing. And Polar Bear claws combine that with the cat claws, becoming shorter but sharper and curved
To fully simulate Wolverine's adamantium skeleton as closely as possible in a reasonably achievable manner, the claws should be solidly attached to a metal gauntlet.
Then that connector would be the weakest point of failure. It will still have no issues puncturing but a slash against any solid target the blade's will come right off the gauntlet.
They need to be more fixed, and they need someone with considerably more strength than these two fellows. Logan I'd say is as strong as captain america.
@@LightBrandit'd be more realistic then. the point of failure on logan's claws is where they are embedded in his hand, held only by muscle and trndon. his bones and blades might be unbreakable, but the rest of him is not. also, if you weld the blades to the gauntlet properly, the blades or the gauntlet will fail before the weld does. source: my dad was a farmer and a welder all of his life. in 42 years, i never saw one of his welds fail. i saw things he had built or repaired break, but it was never at the joint.
I think my favorite part of the video is Shad not knowing that people have different finger sizes. He’s married…. Did he by a ring and when the jewelry store said what size, he just laughed and said stop talking crazy, just give me the ring.
Tyrenth was the one that came out with the "baby hands" comment first just saying- so I'm not surprised that Shad countered with the "fat fingers" joke back
I thought rings adjusted themselves to the owner... like Saurons ring was huge for him, and when Isildur cut it from his fingers and got ahold of it, it shrunk down to fit him, thats how i learned how rings worked at least
To answer Tyrant's question, these are not designed weapons. Wolverine has actual bones under those claws, bones that retract into his arms, so you can't really curve those a lot. Also, I would say the comics are quite accurate in how well those claws cut. If you look at the way it is drawn, most of the time the "cuts" are very gnarly and jagged. Wolverine is a savagge character, his way of fighting is very animal like, and of course it will work best attached to someone who has superhuman strength to back it up.
His strength comes from the weight of his adamantium encased skeleton, it's working his muscle and not failing like human bones so he CAN work his muscles harder
There are no Bones under the claws. His claws were jndeed retconned to be bone when his Adamantium was ripped out, but when he was experimented on by Dept H and had the skeleton installed, they also surpressed the bone claws and installed Adamantium blades. When he recovered from having the Adamantium removed, he accidentally popped the bone claws after they had grown back. Take a look at the boney look of those claws and the sharp smooth blades of rhe Adamantium versions. Lastly, he is not just getting added strength and leverage from his skeleton. Mutants are typically far stronger and more durable than humans in Marvel, even those who don't have exceptionally strength as one of their powers. This is why Wolverine has bent pips, ripped ppen car doors, etc. He can't lift a bus strong, but he is stronger than the most powerful regular human by far.
@@mitchcowan1446 his old marvel collector card stated the adamantium added somewhere around 250lbs more weight to him. It kind of explains why he got all "weird" right after it was removed body had to adapt to that level of muscle strength.
Whenever Wolverine used his claws in the comics and movies i always saw him plunging his claws into a target and then gouging them out with a tearing motion. The fact he has a Healing Factor means he can always ignore his pain limiter and strike with his muscles full, unrestrained, output if he chooses. The fact his skeleton is reinforced as well means there is even less risk of self injury.
Removing the pain limiter only allows an extra 20 or so extra percent. It's not as superpowered as pop culture thinks. Now for someone originally superpowered like Wolverine, it's much more noticeable.
The reason they aren’t curved as aggressively as you’d want for this is because they’re “Retractable” Claws they have to be able to side in and out of his arms and have them still look normal
A common trait of fictional weapons is that elements of the fictional setting they are from is critical, or even the main point, of them being usable weapons.
Even in the fictional setting, the elements of it typically don't justify the design. Big heavy swords, for example, tend to focus only "character is strong, can lift more weight" while ignoring the aspect of "every action has an equal and opposite reaction", that the character would need to brace themselves more, weigh more, etc.. The heavier the weapon, the more it controls you. We just give it a pass, because we don't really consider those things while enjoying a story.
@@Axterix13 size isn't an element or a substance.. you're arguing that the discovery of new materials wouldn't affect weapons designs, which is clearly wrong, and your example isn't an example of this at all. Size isn't a material, so that's irrelevant. The material you can use, and the properties of them, have affected the shape and configuration of weapons throughout history, even Shad and Tyranth specifically steered away from talking about Adamantium, because if a real metal that had the properties of Adamantium (as described in the comics) actually existed, then the claws would work as a weapon... aside from still running into the problem of pushing apart but some artists draw Wolverine as having straight claws that are in line with the other two claws in each hand. The point is, so long as the claws actually point the same direction (which I guess is just up to the artist), the material they're made of would have a huge impact on functionality, just like it did on many weapons historically. If there was an almost unbreakable and unbending metal, and only the metal itself could shave itself and damage itself, as that's how Wolverine keeps them sharp, they could be insanely sharp, like many times sharper than steel could be, and they could take years of use to get dull. The material used would absolutely change everything. Even so, a sword made of the same material would just be better. But sometimes a superior material can enable something that wouldn't otherwise work at all (like these claws) and make it into something that kinda works instead. Wolverine is also an assassin, so having knives he can hide inside his arms is fairly handy (haha) so honestly a sword could actually be less practical, for him specifically. Except with metal detectors, but you can't get through a metal detector with a sword either, so it doesn't really matter.
@@myfaceismyshield5963 that still doesn't change the division of force due to force being concentrated on 3 blades instead of the 1. This also doesn't negate the issue of blade thickness, profile, taper, etc. Material quality affects two things primarily : Durability and strength, and the ability to hold an edge, normally and during more abusive usage. Material doesn't affect how sharp something can get in terms of metal. There are countless studies showing that all types of metals can get to the same level of sharpness using current sharpening methods. The only difference is how long that sharpness actually lasts, and there's no reason to believe that adamantium wouldn't fall under similar characteristics. Its still metal, probably just a much much more durable metal. Also, as pointed out in the video, they are testing how functional weapon designs would be IN A REAL LIFE SETTING. As in, they want to see how good a weapon is in real life. SO they aren't knocking the weapon in the comics, they are simply talking about how useful they'd be to you and me in a fight. And the conclusion is, if you had the choice between these and a push dagger, just use the push dagger.
Not so fictional, wolverine claws are just an exageration of real bears or lions claws, and we know they works really well in nature. I think the only way to do a realistic wolverine claws is literally put 3 katanas on a hand and sharp them in the opposite way, that are not kitchen knives but thick piece of steel like bears claws.
Just being unbreakable, they'd act like an infinite on the mohs scale, and eventually be able to slice through anything, even if dull.. It's kinda wild
If you wanted to truly test them, you should have attached them to a brace as Wolverine has his class attached to muscles and bones to not have them wear on him too much
Yes, they're attached to bones, but it's pretty obviously the bones in his hand. Otherwise he'd have no wrist mobility. The only thing they'd brace against is the hand which would lead to the same wrist movement Shad and Tyranth were dealing with.
@@bolbyballinger Well the claws are actually stored in the forearm. So Wolverine does not have much to any wrist movement ESPECIALLY when he pops them out
One of the movies showed Wolverine withdrawing all but his middle claw (he was giving someone the finger). So, he could claw with a single one if he desired.
True - although no matter how much force you have or whatever material you have to transfer it, dividing that force by 3 must always be worse. Well, unless Newtonian physics entirely doesn't exist in the fictional universe, but that would make the whole MCU fall apart! Physically I mean, it's their dodgy recent films making it fall apart in other ways.
I agree and remember at least in the movies Logan is strong enough to slice through thick pieces of steel like car doors so I think he has the sharpness, toughness, and can generate enough force with those blades to rip through flesh with relative ease
Supposedly, Wolverine's claws weren't originally part of his body (in terms of design, they originally came out of his suit and were much thinner/narrower), but a retcon changed that along with giving him the iconic adamantium coating on his skeleton.
You are referring to his first outing, but right after that character was changed to have the adamantium and his claws were not supposed to be bone at all. That was retconned decades later when they wrote Magneto ripping the metal from his body and the bones claws grew back. Logan was an operative for years on Team X for the CIA long before he was an X-man or he got the claws and adamantium, and he never had the bone claws. That was a retcon, and imho a bad one. Even so, it was established that his bone claws are also not coated. They were surpressed, and actual metal claws inserted. This is why the boney claws aren't knife-like smooth like when he pops them with the adamantium. Also, when Magneto ripped the metal out in the comics, it took a bit for the bone claws to grow back, which is why they didn't pop out instantly after. Lots of changes over the years, not all for the better, but still works fine enough.
@@JamesDM4 to some degree, yes. The design of the katar got around though. They made their way into the Greek and Roman gladiatoral coliseums as well. An argument could be made for gladiatoral matches, and therefore weapons and other equipment as well, being ceremonial in the way that WWE is ceremonial, but the lions and tigers seemed to be more easily fended off with the triple blade than the single. But then again I don't think animals know about or understand force multiplier geometry.
I do think the best possible option for this as a weapon would be a super rigid forearm brace. Kinda like the Assassins Creed hidden dagger. You would be able to apply a lot more force and worry less about injuring yourself with your own weapon. A simple knife would still be a better weapon, but you could get the most out of the claws with the brace.
Close. They align with the top of his hand, in line with his knuckles from his forearm. He has been depicted as having his wrists locked at times after he pops the claws, but aspects of his claws, skeleton and powers have changed a little over the years
Wolverine's powers are more complicated than they seem. He needs the Adamantium for the ultrasharp and resilient edge, super strength to effectively penetrate with three blades at a time, and hundreds of years of experience to use them effectively. Absolutely impractical, despite the badass factor.
@@alexism9656 Irrelevant to his claws. In fact, they would be a hindrance, as animal instinct would compel him to try to claw with his fingers. Sabertooth draws on those instincts for battle, Wolverine has to be more disciplined.
I'd say that, originally, Wolverine probably knew that the claws weren't the best weapon. He trained with Legendary samurai and learned to use a katana. (Comics)
Also the claws themselves are part of his Anatomy, presumably activated with muscles, and so Wolverine theoretically could change their alignment from splayed out to the same direction. And in theory this shouldn't be practical. However in unlikely circumstances that probably would have never happened if he wasn't a comic book character . They could have them all facing up for an uppercut, and uppercut that doesn't twist the forearm bones. Stuff like that is probably the absolute maximum utility that could be created by them being independently moving, unless they are somehow dexterous and strong enough to do blade catching. Which even then would probably be with just the tips, but it would explain why the alignment of the claws is arbitrary.
That would work, but Wolverine's claws are only attached to his hands when extended allowing his wrists to move freely. Attaching the claws to the forearm wouldn't be accurate to the character.
@beauleidig8670 A percentage of the claw is still inside his hand so the leverage point is still quite different to a normal person using the claws Shad and Sausage Fingers were testing.
@@LifeLongMETALHead83 That's true, but it's still not a rigid connection to the forearm, which is what the OP was suggesting. Even a direct connection into the skeletal structure of the hand would still over leverage the wrist when slashing a hard or resistant target.
Eh. Pretty sure even Captain America stalemates Wolverine and Cap is only slightly stronger than the strongest man on Earth. Now full on mutated feral Wolverine is another matter.
@@gmork1090 its hard to tell when wolverine carries his heavy skeleton around while still being extremely agile and fast. I'd imagine he can also push his strength past his durability because of his healing cap probably can't do that.
The best part of them saying these should be thrusting weapons? That's how Wolverine uses them a majority of the time, he thrusts with his claws more often than slices.
12:40 they would be better designed with a steel pad spanning the three prongs that sits against the back of the hand. The issue @12:50 is animal claws are different in that they are controlled by separate muscles so can move independently unlike your fixed three prongs. Wolverrines may well be similarly separately controlled given they are part of his body..
Depending on who was treating Wolverine, his claws were originally bionic weapons manually triggered by the tightening of his muscles. The bone claws were a retcon - but it still didn't explain fully how he's able to pop that in and out of his forearms AFTER being covered in Adamantium. "Popping" them out supposedly locks his fists and forearm via bionic mechanisms as one unit to better utilize how he uses those claws, "relaxing" his muscles causes the claws to "retract" - again via bionic mechanisms. And since Wolverine's healing factor basically HEALS him even while his claws are "deployed", I'm pretty sure that those same claws have internal "blades" that also hurt him on the way back in - slicing open the healed skin surrounding the claws so it can re-heal itself closed again once the claws are inside his forearms. So his quote in Singer's first X-Men movie saying "it hurts everytime" they come out would also mean that it also hurts when they retract. If there's one thing you probably forgot to take into account was that the way Wolverine's claws locks his fist and forearm straight when deployed in some depictions means that both fist and forearm become one locked, ridged unit - something akin to a gauntlet sword or a type of permanently straight cestus. Then there's also the fact that his skeleton and whatever muscle-powered bionic mechanism used to deploy and retract his claws are all coated with adamentium.
you are quite right on the subject of pain. Logan was asked (in the first X-men) "does it hurt when they come out?". To which he replies "every time"". Imagine razor sharp blades slicing their way through the centre of your arms, through your wrist and out your skin? Logan's healing factor is awesome but nobody said injuries do not hurt!!!!!
wow, I never knew I'm like shad! I'm also left handed but use my right hand for everything that is based on power but my left one for fine motor control actions. 20:38 - Shots fired, shots fired
I mean, sharpness is about the angle the atom are at. Even a soft object can be just as sharp as any sword. What material a weapon is made of only will affect how well it retains its edge, it's bendiness, and other such things, but when it comes to thrusting and slicing adamantium would be exactly as bad against pool noodles as the steel ones they're using. Until steel reaches its point of failure (which pool noodles don't make happen) a stronger material won't improve performance.
One thing you can not test is in the comics since Wolverine claws come from his arm they lock his wrist when out since part of it is still in his arm. It could also be the reason for the curve so that when they pull in they are not sticking out his wrist.
The biggest problem with these claws are that they're based on Hugh Jackman's prop claws and not the claws from the comics. In the comics, Wolverine's claws come out of the back side of his hand, just above the knuckles but not between them. They'd be far more effective if they were anchored in the back of the hand rather than between the knuckles.
I don't know how much overall difference that would make. Remember, even in the comics, Logan still has full range of motion in his wrists while his claws are extended. Which means that when he slashes he would still face the same issues of over leveraging his wrists when hitting a hard target.
He also regenerates his adamantium after the writers quickly realized if he ever got a body part cut off he’d lose the adamantium on that part of his body. So now through comic book magic he regenerates that too
@@Unpainted_Huffhines It's not about tearing a tendon. It's about his wrist being a weak point when leveraging a slash. Because his claws are hard locked into his hands his wrists would create a natural weak point whenever his claws created too much drag during a cut. This would lead to his hands bending back the same way we saw Shad and Tyranth's in the video.
I don’t care what happens with you and RUclips. You do great stuff. I have to manually search for you because it’s no longer popping up in my algorithm, but I never fail to be entertained by you and your friends.
Crikey, fellas, I've just found you as an Australian myself, and I immediately subscribed and turned on the notifications. Bell, you guys are a Legends.
I have to play devils advocate. The claws are firmly attached to his skeleton and they can also come out 1 at a time. I know it would be very hard to make ones that are at least braced and able to come out 1 at a time for different situations. But i dont think you did them justice.
why they work for Wolverine is because they are a part of him his powers complement their use, also you can't hand wave away the fact they are covered in an indestructible super metal that never gets dull that plays a huge role in how he uses his claws vs how we have seen him use is Bone Claws
Thing is indestructible doesn't much matter. Sharpness is all about the angle, so adamantium wouldn't be any sharper than steel. Stiffer and presumably with better edge retention yes, but they'd slice and stab no better than steel. Now, if you're hitting a target that would break steel then the adamantium would be better, but if the design itself can't even best a pool noodle then it's simply not going to matter.
@@JamesDM4 adamantium can be sharpened to an edge less that a molecule thick. steel cannot. You it seems silly to compare the two. It being Indestructible absolutely has a great deal of impact on its sharpness. I don't consider a regular spider thread sharp because of its inability to hold together long enough to cut. Turn that same spider thread into adamantium? Which is still much thicker than the thickness of AN ATOM LOL it would slice clean through most things with little effort. At least half of most definitions of sharp, sharper. I feel like you are operating under real life applications and those simply don't apply. I guess I just don't understand taking something out of context and then saying its bad or not effective. At some point it seems like you just gotta say well duh they don't work well unless its conventional weaponry. Sorry just feel like they are frequently crapping on major pop culture icons JUST to stir the in the comments section. Maybe I botched my sense motive check though? 🤷♂
Something to consider is that it does hurt when he pops them but also u can assume it hurts just using them in general also the fact them being adamantium does add to the fact that since it’s a nye indestructible metal him using as much force as he does while slicing it makes since they would slice things despite being smooth in the edges plus logan is super human so he’s far mor stronger than one
I think a good modification of these would be to have a plate attached to them that rests on the back of your hand, adding rigidity to cuts and spreading the force out so that it doesn't hurt.
So the problem with Wolverines claws is...... Edge alignment, I guess you could call it. You are aiming the thin blade of a sword towards a target in a very particular way. But when you have 3 blades, you are not going to do the same damage. Not even close. Because then you have 3 different impact areas that hit at different times. And severely diminish your impact. So unless you add in the Adamantium and infinite sharpness. Plus Wolverines super-strength required to push through, then its going to be VASTLY inferior to a regular sword or knife. Also you would have to jab and rip to get an effect. Not "swing" it like a sword.
Wouldn't a single claw be better? Its like sitting on a chair with 1000 neddles vs 10 More force is concented in one area, and if stabbing is thr goals one deep stab is better then 3 shallow.
True, but without being indestructible or having super-regeneration means that 3 would be less likely to fail catastrophically. Makes more sense from an anatomical point of view.
as far as wolverine goes, he can individually retract his claws and just have one sticking out. 1000 needles vs 10 needles, the fewer do more concentrated damage to a smaller area, but if you need to do damage to a larger area, three would get it done faster than two. you wouldnt eat cereal with a shovel, and you wouldnt dig a ditch with a spoon.
What Ty said at the 9 min mark is about right. The only way for this to be more functional and comfortable is to make them full gauntlets and arm braces, trying to stiffen the wrist. Something similar to a Katar would be way better...
. 13:40 "I didn't think it was possible. I didn't even tell you there was a whiff opportunity, but my goodness we should have flashed it on the screen." Tyler, Dude Perfect. . 15:30, I'm still laughing... but that was cool.
Multi-bit screwdriver, a good hex key set (both metric and imperial), and a hammer would be my recommendation. Later you can add drill bits, an inexpensive drill/driver combo set, picture hangers and a stud sensor to your kit. And at some point you might want to buy some high quality paint gear if you plan on painting rooms yourself (although I would recommend painting BEFORE you move in).
Considering Wolverine can't move his wrists when his claws are extended, At least from what I remember, His claws seem to extended into his forearms. So, A set of claws with a forearm support brace or strut attached would probably provide better support when cutting, By keeping the wrist from flexing on impact.
Yeah, the Wolverine claws suck. However, I would like to see the review of claws that sit on the back of the hand or the ninja climbing tool that fits in your palm but was used as a makeshift weapon. Also, those finger claws would be a nice thing to compare to.
I can't think of a way to fairly test the retractable aspect, which i think could help with getting stuck. Also being able to have 1 to 3 claws out instead of having all three out. Which could be more versatile since we dont have a fantasy metal.
Was thinking the, claws should be TWO since they would be stored in the wrist bones... unless they form by extruding the adamantium.... thing is in the movies they shown wolverine having real bone-claws
adamantium being sharp dosent help it cut. try cutting aluminium with steel knife, same as wolverine adamantium claws cutting steel. say you have wooden target, hittign it with aluminium, titanium, steel or adamantium would make no difference to wood, but it would reduce damage to the blade.
Well in nature claws are not used to slice but to grap and ripe apart. So the wolverine blades only beeing usefull for thrusting -and consequently for ripping apart- adds up
Hey bro Shad I'm almost finished with my main Cyberpunk playthroughs and will soon switch to Skyrim again. A character designed after you is my first return to the game after so long.
One of the artists that have drawn Wolverine and have stuck with many gave them a more bone structure with a tear cross-section, that made the cut but it was more on the stabbing. The claws drawn as actual blades is more on the cool-factor: it is completely wrong and stupid, but man it does look sooooo good.
Idea to make it more "acurate" with how the blades would work if they were inside your body: Attach them to a bracer that wraps around the wrist, with the example claws you used on the end, giving you support from your wrist. I could probably draw up some simplistic blueprints for them even. They also seem to be simmilar (in use) to brass knuckles or push daggers. Overall, id say they could be made useful if designed properly.
When I was paying attention to comic books, back in the 90s, I saw only one scene where Wolverine made a thrust. Usually he used his claws as slashing weapons, probably because the poses were more dramatic. 16:55 As far as I can tell, in canon Wolverine's claws are parallel. The splay seems to be a matter of perspective, when he points them at you.
Also, animal claws aren't intended to cut like knives. They are designed to GRIP into prey so they can pull the animal down and bite it for a killing blow. They are also used to help some animals climb trees. Lions, Tigers, Bears, etc don't use them like humans use knives. They swat with their claw with the intent to CATCH them into the target so they can proceed to hold them and tear them apart. Watch a predator animal catch any prey.... Claws sink in like a hook into the flesh, prey gets pulled down... Teeth finish it off. Claws almost never do the killing.
What if you had some claws that were shaped a little like Khukri blades? That way they would still curve the right way for Wolverine-claws, but possibly act better as cutters?
One of the reasons why the blades may not be as curved as much as you would prefer is because they are meant to retract into his forearm. And there's only so much curve you can fit into that
And, normally, wolverine's claws are sharp on all of the edges there.
Another thing they fail to consider is that unlike normal claws Logans claws are guided by both his muscle contraction and his finger position. Every time he releases them they peirce a new pathway through his flesh that heals over when he retracts them. also they would have a cross section more like a teardrop or axe blade, instead of a beveled shape loke a sword or knife .

@@AzraelThanatosI wonder if wolvy has to sharpen his claws like cutting his nails 💅
The thing with Wolverine's claws is that they are stored in his forearm, goes through his wrist, and then out of his knuckles. This means two things, one is that he has no wrist maneuverability and two is that his claws are ingrained into his forearms so they're not the same as if you're holding a handle with claws. They are very solidly in place. It is as if his entire forearms are claws rather than he holding a handle with claws.
That's not always the case, at least in some versions (explicitly shown in a scene in deadpool and wolverine) the claws fully pass through his wrist so the base of the claws rest in his hands granting him a greater range of motion. The claws not being as stable doesn't really matter since wolverine has super strength and his claws are so sharp the can cut between atoms.
You forgot, Wolverine have centuries to master the use of his claws which is practically part of his body.
I don't think its that way, I think the "butt" of the claws likely end in the hand once extended. Otherwise the claws would only be able to extend a very short distance. If you were to store them in your forearms up to the wrist then extending them into the hands would leave give or take a foot of claw sticking out...which lines up close enough to the movies.
@@michaelmegson2778 Excellent point. I would also suggest that having his wrists free to flex when striking actually enhances the functionality, because it lets him slice OVER a target rather than just chopping into it like an axe. If he cant cut through it, his wrist will flex and allow him to continue the cut instead of stopping.
The only way for wolverine’s claws to actually function when striking something is for his skeleton to brace or backup the impact of the strikes. That means that his skeleton must be held together in some fashion beyond just ligaments and tendons or his bones would pop out of place. Or his tendons and ligaments would have to be insanely strong. Since his claws never give due to the nature of adamantium, the object he is hitting or thrusting through must fail to repel adamantium or his claws could be pushed back into his hand bones, forearms etc, dislodging them in the process.
But Wolverine has an adamantium skeleton ☝🤓
bone-wolverine claws would be an interesting video idea

Yooo Dygo! I’ll never get used to yt I watch crossing over in the comments 😂
The same goes for nearly every major clawed hero/villian in the MCU, super exotic indestructible metal infused/bonded to either the body or an equivalent armor system.
Like the claws by themselves don't seem to work until they over stack it with buffs.

Animal claw like cat's claw are most used to "catch" prey rather than slice them open. So naturally, they want to get caught in whatever they're clawing to keep them from running away. Their real killing weapon is their fangs.
exactly
To contrast that look at the bear claws, which are an actual weapon for slashing and tearing as well as a tool for digging, scraping and such
My arms and shoulders beg to differ!
@@alexmashkin863 bear claws are very blunt, they're far more for digging and bashing rather than slashing or tearing.
And Polar Bear claws combine that with the cat claws, becoming shorter but sharper and curved
Say that to a bear
To fully simulate Wolverine's adamantium skeleton as closely as possible in a reasonably achievable manner, the claws should be solidly attached to a metal gauntlet.
Then that connector would be the weakest point of failure.
It will still have no issues puncturing but a slash against any solid target the blade's will come right off the gauntlet.
They need to be more fixed, and they need someone with considerably more strength than these two fellows. Logan I'd say is as strong as captain america.
@@captainfach Logan doesn't have super-heroic strength, He's just like a lowest category weight lifter (remember he's a short runt).
@@captainfachcaptain america could declaw him with a pair of vice grips...
@@LightBrandit'd be more realistic then. the point of failure on logan's claws is where they are embedded in his hand, held only by muscle and trndon. his bones and blades might be unbreakable, but the rest of him is not.
also, if you weld the blades to the gauntlet properly, the blades or the gauntlet will fail before the weld does.
source: my dad was a farmer and a welder all of his life. in 42 years, i never saw one of his welds fail. i saw things he had built or repaired break, but it was never at the joint.
I think my favorite part of the video is Shad not knowing that people have different finger sizes. He’s married…. Did he by a ring and when the jewelry store said what size, he just laughed and said stop talking crazy, just give me the ring.
Tyrenth was the one that came out with the "baby hands" comment first just saying- so I'm not surprised that Shad countered with the "fat fingers" joke back
So Shad and his wife has same ring size.
@@sesqwe1693 Exactly
Shad would have bought different size rings for his wives for sure.😅
I thought rings adjusted themselves to the owner... like Saurons ring was huge for him, and when Isildur cut it from his fingers and got ahold of it, it shrunk down to fit him, thats how i learned how rings worked at least
To answer Tyrant's question, these are not designed weapons. Wolverine has actual bones under those claws, bones that retract into his arms, so you can't really curve those a lot. Also, I would say the comics are quite accurate in how well those claws cut. If you look at the way it is drawn, most of the time the "cuts" are very gnarly and jagged. Wolverine is a savagge character, his way of fighting is very animal like, and of course it will work best attached to someone who has superhuman strength to back it up.
His strength comes from the weight of his adamantium encased skeleton, it's working his muscle and not failing like human bones so he CAN work his muscles harder
@@Xenoprophet yeah Wolvie relies on fast slashes, not actual raw power....
There are no Bones under the claws. His claws were jndeed retconned to be bone when his Adamantium was ripped out, but when he was experimented on by Dept H and had the skeleton installed, they also surpressed the bone claws and installed Adamantium blades. When he recovered from having the Adamantium removed, he accidentally popped the bone claws after they had grown back. Take a look at the boney look of those claws and the sharp smooth blades of rhe Adamantium versions. Lastly, he is not just getting added strength and leverage from his skeleton. Mutants are typically far stronger and more durable than humans in Marvel, even those who don't have exceptionally strength as one of their powers. This is why Wolverine has bent pips, ripped ppen car doors, etc. He can't lift a bus strong, but he is stronger than the most powerful regular human by far.
@@mitchcowan1446 his old marvel collector card stated the adamantium added somewhere around 250lbs more weight to him. It kind of explains why he got all "weird" right after it was removed body had to adapt to that level of muscle strength.
Ragged cuts don't make much sense given how insanely sharp the claws are, plus blade edge is straight rather than jagged Luke a steak knife.
Whenever Wolverine used his claws in the comics and movies i always saw him plunging his claws into a target and then gouging them out with a tearing motion. The fact he has a Healing Factor means he can always ignore his pain limiter and strike with his muscles full, unrestrained, output if he chooses. The fact his skeleton is reinforced as well means there is even less risk of self injury.
Removing the pain limiter only allows an extra 20 or so extra percent. It's not as superpowered as pop culture thinks. Now for someone originally superpowered like Wolverine, it's much more noticeable.
The reason they aren’t curved as aggressively as you’d want for this is because they’re “Retractable” Claws they have to be able to side in and out of his arms and have them still look normal
A common trait of fictional weapons is that elements of the fictional setting they are from is critical, or even the main point, of them being usable weapons.
Even in the fictional setting, the elements of it typically don't justify the design. Big heavy swords, for example, tend to focus only "character is strong, can lift more weight" while ignoring the aspect of "every action has an equal and opposite reaction", that the character would need to brace themselves more, weigh more, etc.. The heavier the weapon, the more it controls you.
We just give it a pass, because we don't really consider those things while enjoying a story.
These things did exist in Japan, though, street weapons sure, but they were real.
@@Axterix13 size isn't an element or a substance.. you're arguing that the discovery of new materials wouldn't affect weapons designs, which is clearly wrong, and your example isn't an example of this at all. Size isn't a material, so that's irrelevant.
The material you can use, and the properties of them, have affected the shape and configuration of weapons throughout history, even Shad and Tyranth specifically steered away from talking about Adamantium, because if a real metal that had the properties of Adamantium (as described in the comics) actually existed, then the claws would work as a weapon... aside from still running into the problem of pushing apart but some artists draw Wolverine as having straight claws that are in line with the other two claws in each hand.
The point is, so long as the claws actually point the same direction (which I guess is just up to the artist), the material they're made of would have a huge impact on functionality, just like it did on many weapons historically. If there was an almost unbreakable and unbending metal, and only the metal itself could shave itself and damage itself, as that's how Wolverine keeps them sharp, they could be insanely sharp, like many times sharper than steel could be, and they could take years of use to get dull. The material used would absolutely change everything.
Even so, a sword made of the same material would just be better. But sometimes a superior material can enable something that wouldn't otherwise work at all (like these claws) and make it into something that kinda works instead. Wolverine is also an assassin, so having knives he can hide inside his arms is fairly handy (haha) so honestly a sword could actually be less practical, for him specifically. Except with metal detectors, but you can't get through a metal detector with a sword either, so it doesn't really matter.
@@myfaceismyshield5963 that still doesn't change the division of force due to force being concentrated on 3 blades instead of the 1. This also doesn't negate the issue of blade thickness, profile, taper, etc. Material quality affects two things primarily : Durability and strength, and the ability to hold an edge, normally and during more abusive usage. Material doesn't affect how sharp something can get in terms of metal. There are countless studies showing that all types of metals can get to the same level of sharpness using current sharpening methods. The only difference is how long that sharpness actually lasts, and there's no reason to believe that adamantium wouldn't fall under similar characteristics. Its still metal, probably just a much much more durable metal. Also, as pointed out in the video, they are testing how functional weapon designs would be IN A REAL LIFE SETTING. As in, they want to see how good a weapon is in real life. SO they aren't knocking the weapon in the comics, they are simply talking about how useful they'd be to you and me in a fight. And the conclusion is, if you had the choice between these and a push dagger, just use the push dagger.
Not so fictional, wolverine claws are just an exageration of real bears or lions claws, and we know they works really well in nature. I think the only way to do a realistic wolverine claws is literally put 3 katanas on a hand and sharp them in the opposite way, that are not kitchen knives but thick piece of steel like bears claws.
Shad absolutely destroying weapons completely unprovoked is eternally hilarious.
real
I love it. I also love him and Ty getting into shit all the time. So competitive but very entertaining.
It helps when your bones are unbreakable, the claws are razor sharp and you have a healing factor to repair any damage you may do to yourself

Yep, adamantium stable enough to be sharpened to a single atom thick edge
Just being unbreakable, they'd act like an infinite on the mohs scale, and eventually be able to slice through anything, even if dull..
It's kinda wild
Yeah, that sounds like horse shit. LOL
@@jcaesar19871 Welcome to comic books lol
Love how Shade is having a blast and Tyranth is somewhat serious
If you wanted to truly test them, you should have attached them to a brace as Wolverine has his class attached to muscles and bones to not have them wear on him too much
Yes. They should definitely have some forearm bracing.
And they should be on the backside of the hand, right above the knuckles and not between the knuckles
Yes, they're attached to bones, but it's pretty obviously the bones in his hand. Otherwise he'd have no wrist mobility.
The only thing they'd brace against is the hand which would lead to the same wrist movement Shad and Tyranth were dealing with.
@@bolbyballingerbut there's also the case of wolverine having super strength so his wrist would be much more stable than a regular human's.
@@bolbyballinger Well the claws are actually stored in the forearm. So Wolverine does not have much to any wrist movement ESPECIALLY when he pops them out
Truth be told, for a long time artists couldn't agree if Wolverine's claws were bladed or not.
One of the movies showed Wolverine withdrawing all but his middle claw (he was giving someone the finger). So, he could claw with a single one if he desired.
it is safe to say that the 'functional' part of these depend on the fictional strength of the wielder and the fictional material it's made of.
True - although no matter how much force you have or whatever material you have to transfer it, dividing that force by 3 must always be worse.
Well, unless Newtonian physics entirely doesn't exist in the fictional universe, but that would make the whole MCU fall apart! Physically I mean, it's their dodgy recent films making it fall apart in other ways.
I agree and remember at least in the movies Logan is strong enough to slice through thick pieces of steel like car doors so I think he has the sharpness, toughness, and can generate enough force with those blades to rip through flesh with relative ease
21 minutes of another aussie with claws? This is going to be good!
*_stereotyped nerd voice_* Wolverine is Canadian
@@morganb6717 "Ackkshully!"
@@morganb6717 technically he would have dual citizenship with britain given that he was born in the 1800s
And now I'm remembering that old pilot episode for X-Men where Wolvie was Australian (or at least had the accent).
@@maltesefalcon85 does that make him any less non-Australian?
Supposedly, Wolverine's claws weren't originally part of his body (in terms of design, they originally came out of his suit and were much thinner/narrower), but a retcon changed that along with giving him the iconic adamantium coating on his skeleton.
You are referring to his first outing, but right after that character was changed to have the adamantium and his claws were not supposed to be bone at all. That was retconned decades later when they wrote Magneto ripping the metal from his body and the bones claws grew back. Logan was an operative for years on Team X for the CIA long before he was an X-man or he got the claws and adamantium, and he never had the bone claws. That was a retcon, and imho a bad one. Even so, it was established that his bone claws are also not coated. They were surpressed, and actual metal claws inserted. This is why the boney claws aren't knife-like smooth like when he pops them with the adamantium. Also, when Magneto ripped the metal out in the comics, it took a bit for the bone claws to grow back, which is why they didn't pop out instantly after. Lots of changes over the years, not all for the better, but still works fine enough.
Looks like you had a lot of fun trying those out.
"Why don't you slowly penetrate the pool noodle with just the tips?"
I'm sorry, I'm such a child.
Basically a Katar blade, but with three blades. Just like that triple sword from The Sword and the Sorcerer.
Hahahahaha.
God that movie was silly. Three bladed sword was 80's nonsense.
Katar blade typicaly have a single blade. The few katar balde that had more then a single blade were ceremonial tool, not deadly weapons.
@@JamesDM4 to some degree, yes. The design of the katar got around though. They made their way into the Greek and Roman gladiatoral coliseums as well. An argument could be made for gladiatoral matches, and therefore weapons and other equipment as well, being ceremonial in the way that WWE is ceremonial, but the lions and tigers seemed to be more easily fended off with the triple blade than the single. But then again I don't think animals know about or understand force multiplier geometry.
I do think the best possible option for this as a weapon would be a super rigid forearm brace. Kinda like the Assassins Creed hidden dagger.
You would be able to apply a lot more force and worry less about injuring yourself with your own weapon.
A simple knife would still be a better weapon, but you could get the most out of the claws with the brace.
In the comics and cartoon show, it looks more like the claws extend from the back of Wolverines hand rather than between the fingers.
Close. They align with the top of his hand, in line with his knuckles from his forearm. He has been depicted as having his wrists locked at times after he pops the claws, but aspects of his claws, skeleton and powers have changed a little over the years
Waiting for "They're not nunchuks, but they're not good weapons."
Wolverine's powers are more complicated than they seem. He needs the Adamantium for the ultrasharp and resilient edge, super strength to effectively penetrate with three blades at a time, and hundreds of years of experience to use them effectively. Absolutely impractical, despite the badass factor.
This! Plus his healing means he doesn't worry about taking some hits before he ends you with those blades ;)
His mutation also gives him animalistic characteristics such as enhanced hearing, smell and even his aggressiveness.
@@alexism9656 Irrelevant to his claws. In fact, they would be a hindrance, as animal instinct would compel him to try to claw with his fingers. Sabertooth draws on those instincts for battle, Wolverine has to be more disciplined.
I'd say that, originally, Wolverine probably knew that the claws weren't the best weapon. He trained with Legendary samurai and learned to use a katana. (Comics)
Also the claws themselves are part of his Anatomy, presumably activated with muscles, and so Wolverine theoretically could change their alignment from splayed out to the same direction. And in theory this shouldn't be practical. However in unlikely circumstances that probably would have never happened if he wasn't a comic book character . They could have them all facing up for an uppercut, and uppercut that doesn't twist the forearm bones. Stuff like that is probably the absolute maximum utility that could be created by them being independently moving, unless they are somehow dexterous and strong enough to do blade catching. Which even then would probably be with just the tips, but it would explain why the alignment of the claws is arbitrary.
Use the tip😂
You should modify them so they attach to your forearm not hand to prevent the leverage action of them.
That would work, but Wolverine's claws are only attached to his hands when extended allowing his wrists to move freely. Attaching the claws to the forearm wouldn't be accurate to the character.
@beauleidig8670 A percentage of the claw is still inside his hand so the leverage point is still quite different to a normal person using the claws Shad and Sausage Fingers were testing.
@@LifeLongMETALHead83 That's true, but it's still not a rigid connection to the forearm, which is what the OP was suggesting. Even a direct connection into the skeletal structure of the hand would still over leverage the wrist when slashing a hard or resistant target.
A quick fix might be welding some bars onto both ends of the hand grip, and have said bars strap to the forearm. Like a pata.
@@beauleidig8670Can’t we just factor in that wolverines strength and biology is a good bracing force
I think that, as you mentioned, the "rear" of each claw locks his wrist and arm together like a full brace giving logan more power and stiffness.
For animals, they want the claws to hook. That helps them grab a hold prey.
Berserker barrage! Also needs more dive kicks 😉
I can hear your comment 😂
It's almost as if wolverine is a mutant freak who's 10 times stronger than a normal man.

Eh. Pretty sure even Captain America stalemates Wolverine and Cap is only slightly stronger than the strongest man on Earth. Now full on mutated feral Wolverine is another matter.
@@gmork1090 its hard to tell when wolverine carries his heavy skeleton around while still being extremely agile and fast. I'd imagine he can also push his strength past his durability because of his healing cap probably can't do that.
The best part of them saying these should be thrusting weapons? That's how Wolverine uses them a majority of the time, he thrusts with his claws more often than slices.
What he said was
"These claws are better at thrusting than these claws."
When he attacks a fleshy opponent yes, but when Magneto hurl a truck at him he slice the truck in half and dives through.
Look at any animation for “ berserker barrage “ it’s slashing .
@@memnochdiavolo1151 Cool, I don't play any of the games. I'm referring explicitly about the movies.
12:40 they would be better designed with a steel pad spanning the three prongs that sits against the back of the hand. The issue @12:50 is animal claws are different in that they are controlled by separate muscles so can move independently unlike your fixed three prongs. Wolverrines may well be similarly separately controlled given they are part of his body..
Depending on who was treating Wolverine, his claws were originally bionic weapons manually triggered by the tightening of his muscles. The bone claws were a retcon - but it still didn't explain fully how he's able to pop that in and out of his forearms AFTER being covered in Adamantium. "Popping" them out supposedly locks his fists and forearm via bionic mechanisms as one unit to better utilize how he uses those claws, "relaxing" his muscles causes the claws to "retract" - again via bionic mechanisms. And since Wolverine's healing factor basically HEALS him even while his claws are "deployed", I'm pretty sure that those same claws have internal "blades" that also hurt him on the way back in - slicing open the healed skin surrounding the claws so it can re-heal itself closed again once the claws are inside his forearms. So his quote in Singer's first X-Men movie saying "it hurts everytime" they come out would also mean that it also hurts when they retract.
If there's one thing you probably forgot to take into account was that the way Wolverine's claws locks his fist and forearm straight when deployed in some depictions means that both fist and forearm become one locked, ridged unit - something akin to a gauntlet sword or a type of permanently straight cestus. Then there's also the fact that his skeleton and whatever muscle-powered bionic mechanism used to deploy and retract his claws are all coated with adamentium.
you are quite right on the subject of pain. Logan was asked (in the first X-men) "does it hurt when they come out?". To which he replies "every time"". Imagine razor sharp blades slicing their way through the centre of your arms, through your wrist and out your skin? Logan's healing factor is awesome but nobody said injuries do not hurt!!!!!
wow, I never knew I'm like shad! I'm also left handed but use my right hand for everything that is based on power but my left one for fine motor control actions.
20:38 - Shots fired, shots fired
Unless you have some adamantium laying around, there's no way of really knowing how well Wolverine's claws actually work.
I mean, sharpness is about the angle the atom are at. Even a soft object can be just as sharp as any sword.
What material a weapon is made of only will affect how well it retains its edge, it's bendiness, and other such things, but when it comes to thrusting and slicing adamantium would be exactly as bad against pool noodles as the steel ones they're using.
Until steel reaches its point of failure (which pool noodles don't make happen) a stronger material won't improve performance.
@@bolbyballinger Oh okay. That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!
One thing you can not test is in the comics since Wolverine claws come from his arm they lock his wrist when out since part of it is still in his arm. It could also be the reason for the curve so that when they pull in they are not sticking out his wrist.
The biggest problem with these claws are that they're based on Hugh Jackman's prop claws and not the claws from the comics.
In the comics, Wolverine's claws come out of the back side of his hand, just above the knuckles but not between them. They'd be far more effective if they were anchored in the back of the hand rather than between the knuckles.
I don't know how much overall difference that would make. Remember, even in the comics, Logan still has full range of motion in his wrists while his claws are extended. Which means that when he slashes he would still face the same issues of over leveraging his wrists when hitting a hard target.
@@beauleidig8670But Wolverine's tendons and ligaments are also laced with adamantium, so he has no fear of pulling or tearing through overexertion.
@@Unpainted_Huffhines that just his skeleton the rest he just regenerates
He also regenerates his adamantium after the writers quickly realized if he ever got a body part cut off he’d lose the adamantium on that part of his body. So now through comic book magic he regenerates that too
@@Unpainted_Huffhines It's not about tearing a tendon. It's about his wrist being a weak point when leveraging a slash. Because his claws are hard locked into his hands his wrists would create a natural weak point whenever his claws created too much drag during a cut. This would lead to his hands bending back the same way we saw Shad and Tyranth's in the video.
I don’t care what happens with you and RUclips. You do great stuff. I have to manually search for you because it’s no longer popping up in my algorithm, but I never fail to be entertained by you and your friends.

Crikey, fellas, I've just found you as an Australian myself, and I immediately subscribed and turned on the notifications. Bell, you guys are a Legends.
Tyranth already knowing how this will go cause he tested wolverine claws, vs Shad just wanting to have fun
I have a friend and we have the same type of energy as you two .It is awesome to have a friend like this.
I have to play devils advocate. The claws are firmly attached to his skeleton and they can also come out 1 at a time. I know it would be very hard to make ones that are at least braced and able to come out 1 at a time for different situations. But i dont think you did them justice.
One thing you're missing about your claws....they are not made of an indestructible material...so it won't function like how it would for Wolverine.
why they work for Wolverine is because they are a part of him his powers complement their use, also you can't hand wave away the fact they are covered in an indestructible super metal that never gets dull that plays a huge role in how he uses his claws vs how we have seen him use is Bone Claws
Thing is indestructible doesn't much matter.
Sharpness is all about the angle, so adamantium wouldn't be any sharper than steel. Stiffer and presumably with better edge retention yes, but they'd slice and stab no better than steel.
Now, if you're hitting a target that would break steel then the adamantium would be better, but if the design itself can't even best a pool noodle then it's simply not going to matter.
@@bolbyballinger So a blade that can be 1/100000000000th as thick as a paper edge and still be impossible to break will not be sharper than a steel?
@@RachDarastrix2 exactely
And also their part of his skeleton, meaning his entire skeleton is bracing them. It be like attacking with sharpened fingers
@@JamesDM4 adamantium can be sharpened to an edge less that a molecule thick. steel cannot. You it seems silly to compare the two. It being Indestructible absolutely has a great deal of impact on its sharpness. I don't consider a regular spider thread sharp because of its inability to hold together long enough to cut. Turn that same spider thread into adamantium? Which is still much thicker than the thickness of AN ATOM LOL it would slice clean through most things with little effort. At least half of most definitions of sharp, sharper. I feel like you are operating under real life applications and those simply don't apply.
I guess I just don't understand taking something out of context and then saying its bad or not effective. At some point it seems like you just gotta say well duh they don't work well unless its conventional weaponry. Sorry just feel like they are frequently crapping on major pop culture icons JUST to stir the in the comments section. Maybe I botched my sense motive check though?
🤷♂
Shad seems like a really nice guy, I really like that he is a regular on FNT.
Technically Wolverine has been shown to be able to use only one blade. Realistically however without Wolverines superstrength fist knifes kinda suck.
Something to consider is that it does hurt when he pops them but also u can assume it hurts just using them in general also the fact them being adamantium does add to the fact that since it’s a nye indestructible metal him using as much force as he does while slicing it makes since they would slice things despite being smooth in the edges plus logan is super human so he’s far mor stronger than one
Took some getting used to, but I'm liking the new facial hair look Tyranth.
I think a good modification of these would be to have a plate attached to them that rests on the back of your hand, adding rigidity to cuts and spreading the force out so that it doesn't hurt.
So the problem with Wolverines claws is...... Edge alignment, I guess you could call it. You are aiming the thin blade of a sword towards a target in a very particular way. But when you have 3 blades, you are not going to do the same damage. Not even close. Because then you have 3 different impact areas that hit at different times. And severely diminish your impact.
So unless you add in the Adamantium and infinite sharpness. Plus Wolverines super-strength required to push through, then its going to be VASTLY inferior to a regular sword or knife. Also you would have to jab and rip to get an effect. Not "swing" it like a sword.
Arguing over hand size just reminds me of This Means War "Wow, what small hands." "Strong hands."
Say that to his face!!! "I want new ones."
"What do you want them to say?"
Shad when looking at Tyranth's fingers: "Oh, your poor wife!"
They suck if theyre not part of your anatomy it would seem, so yes unrealistic for normal people unless their properly supported and anchored.
In comics and even the original 90s series, sometimes they are rounded curved claws. And some times they are angled blades
Wouldn't a single claw be better? Its like sitting on a chair with 1000 neddles vs 10
More force is concented in one area, and if stabbing is thr goals one deep stab is better then 3 shallow.
True, but without being indestructible or having super-regeneration means that 3 would be less likely to fail catastrophically. Makes more sense from an anatomical point of view.
as far as wolverine goes, he can individually retract his claws and just have one sticking out.
1000 needles vs 10 needles, the fewer do more concentrated damage to a smaller area, but if you need to do damage to a larger area, three would get it done faster than two. you wouldnt eat cereal with a shovel, and you wouldnt dig a ditch with a spoon.
What exactly is resisting Wolverine's claws when they are meant to penetrate and cut anything except the same super metal?
Your analogy sure works with nails, but 1000 needles will still hurt you.
What Ty said at the 9 min mark is about right. The only way for this to be more functional and comfortable is to make them full gauntlets and arm braces, trying to stiffen the wrist. Something similar to a Katar would be way better...

Multi-bit screwdriver, a good hex key set (both metric and imperial), and a hammer would be my recommendation. Later you can add drill bits, an inexpensive drill/driver combo set, picture hangers and a stud sensor to your kit.

Those claws are so cool!
As Adam Savage once said "If you want to make a good movie throw reality out the window."
Considering Wolverine can't move his wrists when his claws are extended, At least from what I remember, His claws seem to extended into his forearms.
So, A set of claws with a forearm support brace or strut attached would probably provide better support when cutting, By keeping the wrist from flexing on impact.
Yeah, the Wolverine claws suck. However, I would like to see the review of claws that sit on the back of the hand or the ninja climbing tool that fits in your palm but was used as a makeshift weapon. Also, those finger claws would be a nice thing to compare to.

Was thinking the, claws should be TWO since they would be stored in the wrist bones... unless they form by extruding the adamantium.... thing is in the movies they shown wolverine having real bone-claws
I love ALL Shadiversity videos!!!! ❤
adamantium being sharp dosent help it cut.
try cutting aluminium with steel knife, same as wolverine adamantium claws cutting steel.
say you have wooden target, hittign it with aluminium, titanium, steel or adamantium would make no difference to wood, but it would reduce damage to the blade.
Well in nature claws are not used to slice but to grap and ripe apart.
So the wolverine blades only beeing usefull for thrusting -and consequently for ripping apart- adds up
This looks like so much fun, i cant even describe it
I’m sure they’re all perfectly nice guys but dang if physiognomy is not undefeated.
I love the sound of them clinking around in their armor 😊
Hey bro Shad I'm almost finished with my main Cyberpunk playthroughs and will soon switch to Skyrim again. A character designed after you is my first return to the game after so long.
One of the artists that have drawn Wolverine and have stuck with many gave them a more bone structure with a tear cross-section, that made the cut but it was more on the stabbing. The claws drawn as actual blades is more on the cool-factor: it is completely wrong and stupid, but man it does look sooooo good.
I really miss the round claws instead of the flat blades.
Idea to make it more "acurate" with how the blades would work if they were inside your body: Attach them to a bracer that wraps around the wrist, with the example claws you used on the end, giving you support from your wrist. I could probably draw up some simplistic blueprints for them even. They also seem to be simmilar (in use) to brass knuckles or push daggers. Overall, id say they could be made useful if designed properly.
Haven’t been seeing at shadiversity or knightswatch videos on RUclips for the past month or so. I had to search for the channel specifically
lol. This was funny and very nerdy. Good stuff. Wolverine is still a badass and the claws are awesome.
Funny thing is if you seen the movie, these issues crop up in the fight scene at the start, its almost like they saw your video.
When I was paying attention to comic books, back in the 90s, I saw only one scene where Wolverine made a thrust. Usually he used his claws as slashing weapons, probably because the poses were more dramatic.
16:55 As far as I can tell, in canon Wolverine's claws are parallel. The splay seems to be a matter of perspective, when he points them at you.
"We cannot attach these knives into our skeletons" and somewhere in the backround i hear Palpatine go "Do it!"
Also, animal claws aren't intended to cut like knives. They are designed to GRIP into prey so they can pull the animal down and bite it for a killing blow. They are also used to help some animals climb trees. Lions, Tigers, Bears, etc don't use them like humans use knives. They swat with their claw with the intent to CATCH them into the target so they can proceed to hold them and tear them apart. Watch a predator animal catch any prey.... Claws sink in like a hook into the flesh, prey gets pulled down... Teeth finish it off. Claws almost never do the killing.
What if you had some claws that were shaped a little like Khukri blades?
That way they would still curve the right way for Wolverine-claws, but possibly act better as cutters?
