MAking a custom staff

[]UE[-Predator]

Ok so I am a noob to modeling and need to know how to take the saber 'Jade' from Japlus first off. After that I was looking to learn how to put the handels togetheer to make it a staff as well as possibly the lengthen the jade blades to make them the right distance of a default staff. SO I need to know how to turn a single saber style (such as using the heavy, medium, fast0 into the staff swings. Also Id like to have the staff cause blood to appear when u strike an opponent.

 

*Im Using Milkshape currently or I will be once I figure out how to do this
