i think the handle is called a hilt or the piece piece that connects teh handle and the blade is called a hilt
and i second: BEST HILT EVER!

It's the sword from "Blade" (the movie)
make the hilt longer Katanas or Ninja-to's hilts arnt that short...they're at least a hand and a half swords
Wakizashis and Tantos on the other hand...
Samurai swords are curved so it's harder for them to break when hitting hard surfaces. Sometime some thousand years ago, an army returning from war had most of its swords broken because the soldiers kept slashing instead of stabbing, so somebody designed a single-edged curved blade that wouldn't break made of steel folded many times more than the best European blades.
Many of the best ones were made of a soft, pliable metal that would easily bend, but had a much harder steel barely inlaid at the very, very tip, which was sharped to make the edge. Harder steel there meant it would cut, rather than fold on impact, while the softer body meant it wouldn't snap if it hit something hard.
Ninja swords aren't typically curved because they were just cheap pieces of metal used as tools, rather than being their souls, as samurai swords were to the samurai. They could be pounded out in a hurry and didn't matter.
The "hilt" is the base of the blade, where it meets the guard, hence the term, "to the hilt." Not the place where one grips it.
The pommel should be elongated and the holes in the blade would feel better along the back of the blade, rather than the front, but that's just me. Blood grooves are usually on the back.
That is a nice pommel, though.

"General Bush." Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

and i second: BEST HILT EVER! <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
off topic: you have the greatest sig i have seen.
...
Rounder hilty bit..
The 'puzzle' bits, cant be rounded, for polygons sake, and because the angled shapes would look very silly if they had curved edges..
if you look again at drakes concept you will see that the middle part of it is plane
"General Bush." Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
heathen
That was the pinnacle of Side Scrolling tech when I played it.
THats and AD&D Tower of Doom
we hadnt quite gotten 3d Fighters yet...
Tekken 3 might have been new but I really doubt it. Being this game is Circa 1993 I think.

I was a year off 1994

In reference to the model
I'd put those Style holes or whatever they are on the non impact portion of the blade because that weakens the metal and it would be more prone to breaking...(but hey its a model) <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Skinmapped, and a temporary skin..
Brought the height of the pieces to the same level, hopefully its more ergonomic now =D
