Hey. First time I got this far in a project. Im not quite sure what else to add. Details wise or things involving textures.

Hi Geoco!
Swords are not interesting enough I guess.. You get many views, but no response
Anyway, I like the style of the sword :) On the swordhandle I suggest you make all shapes point downward, to improve swordhandling. The way it is shaped now, you can hurt yourself ;)

Texturing the blade and the handle could also be enhanced a bit, to make it look more interesting. Try to add irregularities to the blade and maybe some more textures to the handle... just some suggestions though :)

Keep up the nice work!

PS: I posted also a sword-tread. My images are:

It would be nice to see some more detail on the blade, such as notches and some bump mapping in the way of scratches. Also in the middle of your blade you have a raised bit this should be a groove in the blade so it can be pulled out again.
