TSA issued katana lololo <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
i mean it not that pefectly booleaned
also if you want it to be nicer text
go into paint write tsa and then make it a bg for the left viewport
then trace it with the line tool and extrude it
bring it over to your sword model, then boolean
