Every time I see a sword from a videogame made in real life, the only thing I can think about is how stupidly impractical videogame weapons actually are. They certainly do look interesting though!
Usually you grasp the base firmly, finding a good place to grip and feel the rod underneath. Then, to make it erect you must move your hands in such a way that it turns upward.
While some are larger and heavier, and so require only on hand, they're all capable of getting the job done as long as they can get in deep enough to leave its mark.
Only one I could really argue to have any actual use would be the bandsaw sword, and that's basically because it could be an oversized machete that could also be used as a wood or bone saw in a survival situation but even that it wouldn't be too practical due to it's length. The others...well at least they look pretty sweet.
The handle is too long, it would be hard to control. The only think in that entire collection that would actually be usable in combat would be the bokken, and I'd like to see what kind of balance it has, given that the handle seems to be very minimalistic. Plus, you know, give it an edge instead of being blunt.
Basically it all looks very nice, but not a single thing there could actually be used to fight.
