Don't mean to be rude but...I think you pronounced 'Daken' incorrectly...Japanese Phonetics, ya know?

Fair enough, I guess. You get the job done.  |

Thanks for the review I have dyslexia and these reviews you do, REALY help me out, makes deciding what to buy a lot easier for someone like me. I'll be peeking around a lot here grin.

I share your uncertainty about some of the technical aspects of what Way is describing, but so far we haven't seen the Muramasa Blade cut adamantium, only that it negates the healing factor. And since we now know that it's some sort of "plasmic form" immitating metal - and it can be broken - the danger to Daken is that the blade could be driven into his own flesh (or shatered into shrapnel) creating wounds that wouldn't heal as usual. The adamantium sheaths would protect the blades from being broken while still within his forearms.
This raises the question of how the wound Logan recieved from Captain America wielding the blade has healed. Maybe the cut healed in normal time (rather than in minutes) but why didn't it leave a permanent scar?
Another problem I had was it sounded to me like Logan had given up on trying to save Daken after Daken stabbed him. Why? It seems to me that - since Daken chose not to use the middle claw to kill his father - that's a sign that there's hope for him yet.
How did Wolverine recognize his attacker as Victor Hudson? Have they met? Nick Fury's clues didn't say anything about Hudson being Romulus' enforcer. And why does he have the strength to kick Logan's butt? For all we know both his parents were baseline humans, and Wolverine can lift somewhere between 800 and 2000 pounds.
And for the record, I pronounce 'em "dah-KEN" and "moor-uh-MAH-suh" - but I don't claim to speak Japanese.

Did Daken get just his claws grafted in the metal, or did he do just his whole skeleton, and is just the middle claw made out of the metal?

Daken only had the tip of the Muramasa blade to work with so he only got the middle claws either bonded or sheathed in it. The rest of his skeleton is bone as are the other four claws.

those adamantium inserts also help Daken from getting his hand cut off, which helps him with his father also

Yeah, from the look of it the adamantium sheaths are lodged in Daken's forearms, between his wrists and elbows (probably between the radius and the ulna) which would make it impossible to cut clean thrrough his forearms and prevents the Muramasa claws from getting shattered to deadly shrapnel inside Daken's arms by any blunt force.
However Daken's arms are still vulberable to being hacked-off at the wrist or elbow (or above) and the Muramasa claws can still be damaged once he extends them. Tinkerer probably should have thought of that and only laminated the blade-sides of Daken's claws in Muramasa metal while laminating the backs of the claws in adamantium (unless that's metalurgically impossible).
Also once the Muramasa claws are extended the only things holding them in place are Daken's metacarpals and the tendons that extend and retract the claws. Cut that tendon and the metal claw slides free from the hand. The claw'll grow back in bone, and someone gets themselves a really nasty dagger (or dart).
