I think it has the same problem the Keyblade has when trying to wield it; basically having a solid mass on one side of the grip means that you can't turn your hand effectively to compensate for different angles of attack. Since the blade is on the opposite side to said solid mass, and it only has one particular way of striking at an enemy, you're basically going to be breaking your wrist when you try to angle the blade in a particular direction. There is a reason the cutlass has the knuckle guard be on the same side as the sharp edge of the blade, which you have pretty much ignored in order to have the stock turn into the blade.

Hookshot's idea is more viable than your current one.
