The purpose of the prongs/fangs being where they are in sword form is to act as a guard. They're on the same side as the sharp edge because that's the direction he's going to be swinging it in, thus it'll be facing toward his opponent. He doesn't want his opponent to be able to aim for his hand because that could lead to him being disarmed.

So, I think they rotate to the other side, and the blade transforms to where the sharp edge is on the inner side.
