Looking at this as the new design for Conker 3's weapon.

The main body will be some kind of tool steel. D2, S7 or another type we are investigating. The inserts are intend to be Hardox or Toolox and held in with Titanium bolts.

A problem with the original weapon was that the arms were too thin. This was compounded by Hardox's fairly low yield strength at around 1000-1300Mpa, in comparison to D2's 1650-2200Mpa. With increased material thickness and a higher yeild strength the hope is that this will mean the weapon will never deform again.

However the tool steels are no where near as resistant to abrasion. The Hardox or Toolox inserts would be able to take the main hits and eventually be turned round before finally replaced.

I may not bother with the tips though as it is more money and both S7 and D2 have proven records with no additional modifications.

EDIT: The mass of the weapon is 2.8Kg for those who want to know. Up from 2.2kg.
