RWBY's not even the weirdest one with that when compared to other anime.

One of the show's core motifs is individuality and it shows by their weapon preferences.

I assume thanks to how advanced their society is technology-wise, it's not as hard as it looks to forge your own weapon. If you're having trouble on your own, blacksmiths exist to basically do it for you anyways, so it's not far fetched to say Torchwick had his custom made rather than he himself being the one to make it.
