not entirely sure why you're asking this user in particular, but here's AN answer:

Corvo's sword is one of many things Arkane screwed up on in this game.

However, youtube user AMNRA has 3d-printed Corvo's blades that operate on inertia.

For corvo's sword to work as Daud uses it, on the other hand, it would require a double-action OTF mechanism.
