thats a really good sword now, you gave the blade good texture too. That type of sword is typical of the defender modle. Its a good sword used to defend off sword attack and then strike while the oppent\'s guard is down, dont worry about the hand guards being too big the sword is perfect the way it is. They say that offence is the best defence, maybe in chess but in combat with swords thats not true it better be patient and defend more than to go wild and strike repeatedly.
