Why not just have part of the blade itself come away from the main blade, pivot on an axis and using the same technology that Qrow uses, curve? I think I might know what you mean, but... t he other concern I had was about gripping the blade. I guess there could still be a use for the detached sheath segments as a grip that wraps around. Maybe secured by magnets. Would that work?

Or if you don't want the blade on the inside curve of the ice axe, leave out the pivot point and have it on the outside. No. The "cutting" edge is going to be on the inside. I think that would work better.
