Guys I think talking about proportions and realizm in tf2 doesn't make much sense. I mean this game is FAR from realistic, and proportions - nope - man just look at heavys legs and arms or medics hands and head. This weapon is far from realistic or practical and it's not only because of the frame. However it looks cool and that's what counts only.

I think I have to go with Spike on this one because it definetly looks like it could easily slash through an enemy with probably a faster speed because of the small frame of the weapon. So I would like to see how the stats would look like when valve adds this to the game.

Is the title a reference to Kindom Hearts 2?

You indeed have a point there. Even if the frame could take the beating, the tightening screw would probably break. But like i said before, i imagined it would be best used in a slashing manner, wherein too much tension wouldn't build up on the frame. Still, I myself wouldn't swing around with a portable wrist-opener like this. Thanks for the advice, it was really helpful.

I probably haven't explained it right. A weapon has to look believable within the game's context. (Exaggerated) proportions are especially important in TF2. The Medic usually uses strong tools to saw through bones hence it makes little sense to attach a huge blade onto a flimsy frame - it's just not believable. If you change the frame to a more bulky one you'll get a nice melee weapon that fits better with the game's style. I hope this helps.

Yes, this weapon is more suited for quick slashes rather than directly bashing the skulls of one's foes. I had trouble coming up with a reasonable-looking way of attacking a huge blade to an instument that is nothing more than a metal frame, so i just ended up slapping the new blade underneath it. Maybe it breaks, maybe it won't.

Good job. The parts that are holding the saw blade should be more beefy, though. It looks rather flimsy as if it would break immediately on a rough hit.
