It's NATE!!!

Chad Nate fan vs virgin tyranth enjoyer

[@ronnieembry3858]

love seeing Nate, but he didn't get to throw anything at you this time lol

[@literallydarheel3234]

You two together were the best part of Shadiversity.

[@ronpetersen2317]

After Shad ... sure. Be nice if he came he came back regular though. They tried a third person but ... he just had no personality or presence to speak of. The three had great chemistry together for sure.

[@literallydarheel3234]

@ronpetersen2317 Shad is grating.

[@advicescorner3175]

It's really good to see Nate. Like seeing an old friend all of a sudden x)

[@ClintOrris]

0:23 It's Lord Nate the Squirely! Excellent! I love their chemistry. When they are all together they remind me of the Grand Tour trio. You can never tell if they love each other or are contemplating using their weapons as designed, as any good nerd debate goes.

[@ryanpacman2143]

another great video Tyranth. glad to see Nate. it seems that he is more comfortable without shad around.

[@Roland3ld]

Always great to see Nate again. Here is the usual full support for channel growth.

[@markfergerson2145]

About that pressure on the palm- I didn’t think to mention it on your video with Shad but adding a palm swell like with brass knuckles would mitigate the pain quite a bit. It wouldn’t negate it completely but brass knuckles are built the way they are because they work better that way.

[@Lemon_Force]

i agree thatd be a good improvement

[@shiyotso1]

Hey tyranth, can you expand on this by doing the forearm scythe from the space pirates from the metroid prime series? It removes some of the issues of the wolverine claws, however, now more of the force is placed on the forearm. There's different iterations of it, so you can choose one and go wild!

[@LisaHarsh]

I miss Nate. The two of you crack me up. Your chemistry is great, obviously friends and work great together. It makes videos fun. Tyrants you are great too! Just see how much more fun you have when Nate is around to banter with.

[@spiritrunner76]

I think that a claw weapon, while not very effective on the 'classic' design, could be made much more effective with some re-design; Re-shape the left and right blades to start with the outward angle like they have already, but then curve them inward after a really short distance so the return to parallel. That would solve the 'spread' problem on thrusts. Consider the design of a Brass Knuckle- there is a palm brace as a part of the design. Incorporate a similar paddle/platform to the grip so the palm has more geometry to work with. And perhaps place a backing brace as well- draw straight back from either side of the handle and make a leather bracing loop that will go around the back of the arm. (think of the braces some sporting slingshots come with. But for the outside of the arm instead of the inside). This would stabilize slashes, brace the wrist to deliver more force, and probably protect the hand from that discomfort of impacts as the blades are less likely to jam their way backwards in between the fingers. And finally, Put in that comic-book thickness on the blades... At least right at the very beginning. Then quickly taper them down by the time you reach the cutting edge. Give some surface area to your hands to work with so you aren't slapping the webbing of your fingers against the back edge of kitchen knives. Think of them as mushroom-caps to spread the force over. As an added bonus, it would add a little mass to the weapon right at the hand, helping add impact while retaining control by keeping the balance point as close to your knuckles as possible.

[@AlbrechtXIX]

I would like to add to this that if you want to perform more effective slashing motions that hurt less you would want the claws to attach to a back plate that is contoured to the back of the hand with attachments connecting it to the handle behind the pointer and pinky forming a band, this disperses the feedback of the claws across a larger area rather than just the fleshy parts between the knuckles. This serves as an irl translation of the section of the claws we don't see since its embedded in the hand between knuckle bones

[@VencentCross]

idk if anyone has ever told you this but actually Wolverine's claws come from his forearm and up through his hand meaning that its a bit more like a Teko-Kagi where its braced on the arm (in the arm?) to some extent. Although this is inconsistent in practice because often the actor/artist will bend the wrist with the claws out but i think they are MEANT to be coming from the arm.

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

They retract to behind the wrist, and when extended the bases come past the wrist so he can use his wrist. I can't remember which movie it was in where it was explained or if it was in a comic in the 80s.

[@VencentCross]

@@darrinrebagliati5365 ya know, considering how far out they protrude and how little of the blade is actually in his hand, and the only thing holding them in place is some muscle sense they cant be directly attached to his bones or they wouldn't slide in and out... a decently strong guy could just grab one of his blades and YANK it out like loose tooth!

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

@@VencentCross as has happened. Before they were adamantium they were segmented bone and were broken often. When Rogue asked him if they hurt, he said 'Every time.'

[@VencentCross]

@@darrinrebagliati5365 well i know the BONE has been snapped and i knew that the blades cut through his hands when they come out (despite his name, he has more in common with a particular species of frog). i was more-so talking about after the upgrade, you can still pull it out like a thorn if you were strong enough.

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

@@VencentCross maybe he didn't pull em out but Magneto used them to torture him. Being as they're held in with muscles and tendons they can definitely be pulled out. But would you want to grip em enough to pull em out.

[@TemperedMedia]

Love seeing you two mates together in a video, always puts a smile on my face

[@jameswinterbottom245]

Great Video! Also Very Good to see Nate again hope to see more cameos with him in the future! Cheers Guys!

[@masterswordsmen]

In some books his claws look almost like long spikes as opposed to blades. Wonder what the difference in performance would be

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

Dunno if it was mentioned in the video yet but as to the thickness of Wolverines claws, they are retractable bone claw mutations covered in adamantium metal. They're less actual claws really and more like bones that can be used as weapons. He is a mutant and all, you can't choose what you were born with he just uses what he's got.

[@ludens7064]

I just have to say that I really enjoy this channel. Keep up the great work, ill be waiting patiently for more

[@Grandwigg]

This was hilarious. I wonder when it was filmed since it was some before the movie release and and Nate is here . For sure this was a great watch.

[@c2099]

Always a joy seeing Nate. I'd love to see you try out Sabertooth nails or Catwoman claws from Batmen Returns.

They call him the Crimson Drip

[@jasonstamwitz6928]

Great seeing Nate!

[@solanumtinkr8280]

Shorten the outside 2.. put a bar/connector across the back like it's a hilt/guard so you can catch and deflect, maybe even more l Rondle like to protect the entire hand/fist... mini punchy blade catching shield thing!

[@theeightbithero]

I love seeing Nate back.

[@GabrielScar]

It's really nice to see Nate coming back from time to time indeed. Musical greetings from Belgium, Gunther (singer and lyrics writer of Gabriel Scar)

[@randallblanton4671]

Also a lot of the usefulness is in the angle of your wrist and arm swing its a lot like a sidearm pitch in baseball you gotta whip the wrist

[@andreas_rr]

1:44 Episode idea: Tiger claws (Bagh nakh) vs Wolverine claws

[@markfergerson2145]

That would really showcase the ripping aspect of Tiger Claws.

[@TheRuneSage-s4b]

You guys should try some of the versions of the adamantium claws from the comics. There are actually quite a few different ways they've been shown.

[@Belnick6666]

we do not have adamantine, so we will break wrists or fingers or whatever when we hold such. You need razer sharp adamantium so they can cut though steel like how a knife slice though warm butter, but with much much much less resistance, lol

[@Belnick6666]

like how a lightsaber would cut, lol

[@chipsdubbo6983]

AWWWWWWWW MY EYES!! There appears to be a sun at the right of the camera at the beginni... oh wait that's just Nates... Never mind. Always fun to see your favorite content creators hurt themselves.

Could you do X-23’s claws, with some beneficial adjustments, like making the blades straight instead of spaced out

[@BMO_Creative]

Actually, Shad was totally wrong, you weren't sure! LOL... Great video man! Animal claws are made for grappling anyway! LOL

[@BaithNa]

Nate? This is the only cameo I didn't expect this weekend 😂

[@lildragon0]

You should add some kind of knuckle plate to protect the skin between your knuckles when you slash.

[@williamalston3324]

Neat. They're 3-bladed push daggers. Thrusting aside, I can't imagine push daggers cut well at all.

[@erikpace336]

Tyranth, not going to dispute your results with those things, either here or over at Shadiversity. I do want to mention, that the Fox X-Men movies cemented Wolvie's claws as knives in the zeitgeist when in point of fact they are not sharpened knives but just his natural born bone claws coated in adamantium. Sometimes they were knives, but the accurate artists drew them rounded and pointy, not as knives. So, early on in the comics they were mostly stabbers and only really slashed with the pointy ends. The only reason the slashing did damage was because of, well, comic books and Logan was a squat and stout powerhouse. Love the channel and it was great seeing Nate again. Cheers mate, from California.

[@gfmol845]

Yeah, in the 90's cartoon in particular they tended to be portrayed rather consistently as slightly curved spikes, rather than blades. In the comics... depended on the artist.

[@erikpace336]

@@gfmol845 Agree completely. That cartoon was my introduction to the X-Men.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Have you thought about making a single blade push dagger version? I think a traditional push dagger with its shorter and wider double edged blade that has interreacting lines with your knuckles will still be a better design. But you could solve a fair few issues that way. You could make it more comfortable, more effective, fixing the splaying issues.

[@hoodedchildx]

that style would look good for a costume, i think if you wanted real claw weapons you would want something forearm mounted with a grip to help stabilize

[@ragnarphillips1957]

I think if you made it accurately if you had the time obviously, but instead of the three blades attached to a bar how would it do with a palm mold meaning it would be round at the end to where you could hold it with your fingers but you would have support in their palm I think it would distribute the energy throughout the whole mold if it was a palm mold when you struck

[@SeantheBawse]

Why do you think they had to make a super metal for them?

[@galenwolf]

NATE!

[@lukasfennikel860]

Fun little video. Though, the wolverine claws in the movies and in the comics aren't really that thin. And they should sit higher up near the knuckles, so they are in line with that whole area. I always cringe when people use those kinds of claws that don't sit where they should and therefore do not have the same effect when hitting targets, because they flex and slide down, instead of being an extension of the wearer's fists. I wondered where I recognized you from and read it down further in the comments that you worked with Shadiversity. Cool. I will follow your future exploits and see more fun videos.

[@LoneWolf-gz9mr]

Have you ever tried a "Freddy Kruger finger-knife glove"? Seems like that would be a good October/Halloween build.

[@A.R.O.T.A.]

Great video as usual. I've been thinking about the movies of wolverine and even in origins where his claws were bone they were too long to be coming from inside his hands alone. They must have come from his forearm through his wrist and hand. So they were probably still braced by his forearm. I seem to remember you saying that could be more usable perhaps you should try it and see if it makes any difference.

[@dustinmillar120]

I got excited to see Nate again haha. I've always wondered if claws would be viable, not only wolverine style but in dynasty warriors too

[@Particledragon_]

What about a wolverine gauntlet instead? Make the blades aligned instead of splayed and offload the force from your knuckles and wrist to the forearm. Create a handle to grip olas well.

[@andrewthegeek6522]

It occurs to me since wolverines claws are retractable he would best benifit from a boxing stance where he extends the claws while jabing hooking blocking bladed or energy attacks. In the deadpool and wolverine movie the claws from a resting hand bursts through glass. and the proccess seems to take less than an instant. he could cut or slash if the reach would help him but it's already fixed in the direction of your fist. Probably would'nt work here because a the waiting stance would move your blade close to your head and yall can't retract

[@murdock1187]

Hey tyrant would they work better if they were in a gauntlet configuration like the European sword gauntlet

[@joku02]

Nate! Boy how Ive missed that Bald head of His!

[@tenshimaru34]

It’s good to see Nate!

[@SirRockXIII]

i made my own retractable pair. not sharpened.. but if you want you can have a look to see what its like and if you want to make a version of it yourself.. perhaps with real "blades"

[@deejayxcrypt]

I’ve always thought it odd how *Wolverine* seems to be able to just “cut through everything” I mean the fella has to also have some super strength to do all that. Having “impossibly sharp edges” does not turn the rest of the world into jelly.

[@chrisa7905]

He does have enhanced strength/speed/agility as well in the comics. Although likely not nearly enough to accomplish the same cutting feats in the real world.

[@ShellworldGames]

I think the sharpness would make a huge difference on the performance on these.

[@StressLevel100]

Seeing all these wolverine claw videos is making me want to see videos on katars

[@Hot_Dice]

Babe wake up it’s the new Tyranth video.

[@Hot_Dice]

Do more of these dude. Start spamming out stuff, we’ll watch. Ide watch you do shop basics, stunt basics, lightsaber fighting. Best advice I try to live by: time in the market will always beat timing the market.

[@jwayk9750]

Needs to add wrist stabilizers.

[@SolarisWesson]

So a way to improve these would be to just use 1 blade instead of 3?

[@gfmol845]

So, a more accurate claw-to-blade representation would be... a Karambit knife? That's the closest I can remember off the top of my head.

[@Sht_Kckr]

I always appreciate nate showing up.

[@jdp3578]

I think practically they would be used more like a Sai. And comic wise, I wonder if those metal guides on wolverines gloves help reduce the blade spacing issue. In universe I imagine that hurts logan.

[@Gterr1971]

First, HI NATE!!! Thyranth, when it comes to bad weapons, wolverine claws, or nunchucks? Choose. Lol

[@elios7623]

maybe one day Nate will rub Tyranth

[@Gokkee]

You should replicate the claws colinfurze makes 😊 they are proper wolverine claws 😉

[@ss7cindersh]

so now the question is: how would the thicker blade change the results?

[@randallblanton4671]

Yeah its definitely an issue of bracing and support to make the claws work. The other issue is the simulated sharpness it seems itd be equivocal to a diamond edged titanium blade. But thatd be ridiculous to make.

[@anzerupnik1442]

Next try the spine and skull flail.

[@Maninawig]

1. Thickness can help with the spreading 2. I wonder if you'd find the same issue if you extended the blades to cover the back of the hand, like the original ninja weapon? I am just wondering if that might be an cause for your issues...

[@CloudBorne]

So happy to see Nate and be angry at him! XD

[@gregoryfloriolli9031]

In the new movie, Wolverine was mainly punching and stabbing with his claws. That way they would be deadly.

[@robashley8216]

So moral of the story is, don't be on the receiving end of Wolverine's claw attacks

[@xaemosxone]

Well you forget one thing, Wolverine's Claws are part of his Body and they are coated in the most strong metal. It is also being part of his skeletal frame being used adds to the power of cuts and thrusts. Where as trying to hold them with a handle like brass knuckles will never equal the effects of what he is suppose to be. Also LOOK AT HUGH JACKMANS ARMS LOL THE POWER BEHIND THAT ALONE CHANGES THINGS LOL

[@Hot_Dice]

Yo bro this is the freshest sick bussin dope awesome best ever video. Let’s gooooooo! ..don’t mind me, just chumming the water

[@joshuamcdowell1460]

These are grappling weapons. Try a few long draw cuts.

[@Mr.PepeSilvia]

Yay Nate!

[@TheLithp]

Animals typically use their claws to capture prey & their bites to kill.

[@lycancowboy1989]

if you are doing this in a real world context i dont think you quite got the style right. i actually think the length is more or less spot on with translation to the real world as the claws would normally sit between his wrist and elbow when retracted and still allow full motion. Pretty sure his claws actually are not entirely contained in his hand when extended though, despite what the marvel show may imply, pretty sure they actually came out and said that that was an anatomical error on their part. For wolverine the claws would be supported not just by his hand but by his wrist and part of his forearm. translated to the real world that might require more of a brace over the forearm, connected to a handle that is in the same orientation you are using now and connected on the sides of the hand, then the claws extended from that handle, all of that to achieve similar biomechanical advantages that the implementation of them in wolverines skeleton would provide. almost, anyway. this would end up being fairly similar to what you have now but i imagine much better leverage and structure for cuts without messing up your hands. as for improvements to make it an actual weapon (if you were concerned about comparing the best variation of the idea fo the weapon rather than strictly exactly as shown) you could do similar to the above but straighten the blades to be aligned with eachother and maybe add a crossbar above the knuckles for extra structure to it. might even be able to lengthen them in this case without much trouble. still not a great real world weapon when compared to others of course though.

[@davidssimmons7861]

Test the Freddy Cougar glove vs the wolverine claw lol

[@perkinsentertainment]

Have you done, or considered doing Freddy's glove from Nightmare on Elms Street? I have the feeling it'd be a similar situation to these wolverine claws

[@bobicus]

It would make more sense to make glove or gauntlet that could be reinforced, because Wolverine's claws are a part of his skeleton.

[@Vibranium_man]

I was about to say that. Since you said it, I second that point.

[@sebaredghost9068]

Nate comeback🙌🏻

[@BaithNa]

Wolverine claws aren't supposed to be held in your hand or be between your knuckles. Jackman has it that way because he's using props, you guys could make an actual gauntlet with the claws in the proper place, on the backside of the hand. Deadpool had a more accurate version of Wolverine claws than your custom made claws in the opening scene of Deadpool and Wolverine. It completely changes the point of leverage when the claws are in the hand as opposed to on the backside of the hand.

[@bretticus6722]

Nate Rymes with Mate lol

[@in4theride75]

Make them out of adamantium, sharpen them to 10x sharper than a razorblade, and fuse them to your skeleton and then try the tests again. I think you will come up with a different result.
