So, at the beginning of Bleach Rukia attempts to transfer her power to Ichigo
but he ends up taking all of them. My question is, say that worked exactly how
Rukia thought it would, would he have gotten his own Zanpakuto or just borrow
hers?

I ask because, in later arcs we're introduced to Oetsu Nimaiya, the creator of
the Zanpakuto. And according to him, no Shinigami has ever obtained a
zanpakuto before being given a asauchi. This pretty much definitively states
that a zanpakuto can't be created solely by a person's soul/spirit energy.

So that raises the question, if Rukia's plan had worked at the start, not to
mention the other times it must have been done for her to know she could do
it, where would the sword come from?

In Bleach, if a Shinigami transfers their power to a human, where does their zanpakuto come from?


I believe the sword Ichigo used for most of the series was a Quincy
manifestation made by the Old Man? The actual Zangetsu is the dual blades
Ichigo wields at the very end. I could be mistaken though.

to answer your question, since her soul reaper powers would be transferred
into Ichigo, he would have her sword, but not its powers. almost like a model
of the sword, it's not actually her all-white sword, but an asuchi. as stated
by LavenderTGhost, Zangetsu was actually a manifestation of his Quincy powers,
and his actual sword was forged by Oetsu Nimaiya. the reason it consists of
two swords is that one sword is his Quincy powers while the other is his soul
reaper powers. second off, Rukia's plan failed. straight up flopped. Rukia
planned on giving him only a little of her powers so that he could protect his
family but ended up giving him all of them because the hogyocu was near
