This conversation, plus some time playing with the Long Sword and Switch Axe in MH3P, made me think of this weapon.

Name: Mountain Chopper.

Wielder: IDK

Maker/Smith: IDK

Classification: Dust Powered Energy Katana

Weapon Derivation: Long Swords + Switch Axe (both from MH) + that conversation about long katanas.

Design: It looks like a basic, though long, katana, with a silver blade roughly 1,40cm in length. The hilt is cylindrical and has a compartment inside where Dust-filled Phials can be inserted.

Holstered/Inactive Form: The weapon is sheathed inside it's sheath (come on, bring the DUHs).

Features: It can use the energy of the Dust inserted to cover the blade in elemental energy. Aditionally, at the cost of using more Dust over time, said elemental energy can be extended up to 2 times the blade's own lenght, meaning at max the blade, including the energy, is 3 times it's normal length. Since the "extra blade" is made entirely of energy, this does not add weight.

Exception is if Earth Dust is used, since it covers the blade in a tough bladed rock. This one does add noticeable weight, and at max lenght it effectively turns the weapon into an Odachi.

Dust Capacity: Powder Dust.
