Hi!

Usually swords have more profiled blades. I know it`s a fantazy sword but usually real swords does have rather simple hilts covered with deer skin or thin, twisted wire. It musn`t hurt the hand holding it. Check the swords from LOTR. Those were based on real weapons from medival age. Below is a reference, from real weapons and replicas, of a "medival" look of weapons.

Excellent point. Although it is a nice ornamental model, you are gonna rip your hands to shreds if you try and wield it!!

Actually, I based this model on a real 15th-century Spanish sword althought I'm sure it was just ornimantal(it belonged to some King I think :shrug: ) I agree, the idea of using a sword like this would be sort of insane. :argh:
