37.998 polys. not all suggestions can be implemented because of poly count and boolean difficulty.

who needs boolean for that? if you want engraved details, just extrude splines ;)
for polycount, I guess the sword won't be unsed in an animation or anything? 38000 polys is really not the highest you can go for that kind of model then :)
nice design otherwise, the guard ( english? ) is too thick tho.

Needs a grip. Right now, if your hand gets wet or bloody, its going to become very slippery. Not bad, Carl.

i'm not using the booleans for that. i'm using them so make the designs on the handle. if i made them textures they wouldn't be scaleable.

besides, truespace doesn't have shapemerge.

the guard on the sword looks too... rectangular - it might be good to make it thinner and rounder

Otherwise, really cool looking sword :)

the blade is a near perfect mirror. it's almost completely black, with reflection at 90%
