Depends on how much room there is to make it. Turning a kitchen knife into a bazooka is a nono, a kitchen knife into a spear or sword is OK.

You can segment the blade and move the pieces around like what crow does with his sword, but if the weapon is made out of a rigid material, we sort of expect it not to bend, otherwise it tends to fail at its job

And we generally assume everything remnant has uses dust unless specified otherwise.
