Description
Concept of modern version of one and half hand sword. This time I run for realistic one. That means. light weigthed, practical and built for purpose. No any fancy features around, just simple clean lines made by modern technology and materials.it's a speedwork. Done in one session. I worked in 3ds max, used vray rendering engine and finished it in photoshop.
So what do you think. Do you like it or not? tnx for comments if any. bye.

For a sword concept, it grabbed my attention quickly. The techy feel to it definitely stands out when most sword concepts are either historical or fantasy. It's simple yet elegant in design, a good example of "less is more".
From a functionality standpoint though, two things grab my eye:
1) the pommel loop does not really look like it would weight enough to be an effective counterweight, though I suppose "modern" techniques could be using a heavier core plated with a visually similar alloy
2) that flare in the middle of the grip would most likely be a nasty tactile sensation. Even with good grip, sometimes the hands will slide, and with various wrist-twist techniques I can see that ever so slightly chafing the base of the palm or catching fingers unpleasantly. Aesthetically, it's different and looks neat, but functionally it would more likely be a detriment. Same goes for the pronunciation of those ridges; probably good grip, but how comfortable would they be for extended use in the hand? Most sword grips are smooth or simple due to this. Anything that can catch or rub the hand, even if used as a grip surface or detail, generally leads to handling discomfort.
A very pretty render though, all things considered. Would like to see this against maybe a navy blue or other off-color background to give some more contrast to the black bits, I feel like there's some impactful detail being missed out on due to the dark shadows on this piece.
WHERE'S THE BLACKSMITH I need to add this to my armory.

I kind of disagree about the pommel. The concept that pommels are just for counterweight is a common misconception; They're mostly if not only for preventing the hand from slipping. Otherwise critique seems fair.

hi. tnx for positive review. Yea Most concept of the sword you can fiind on web they are not usable in the real world. Also most off my concepts in galleryy are likee that. But sometimes is nice to do something you could use in reality as well. from the viewport of form sword is quite simple and even grip in fact is better when it is simple with good grip. So there is not much room for experiments. this one was speedjob. all made just one sessions. I have no time to create some complex textures, therefore i did this dark renderings. it is better to partially hide model in dark otherwise it would be screeming I am not finished

Cool.
My only concerns that haven't already been mentioned, is with that kind of hilt I was expecting a lot more taper on both the profile and distal. Basically, that hilt looks like it's meant to be a hand-and-a-half sword, where it's used a lot as a one-handed sword, with switching to a two-handed grip when you need more leverage. Which means a fast, relatively light blade (for one handed), but with reach that can benefit from more power (when two-handed). So a blade tapering slightly from the hilt (in both blade width (profile) *and* thickness (distal)) until you get nearer the tip where it dives in faster, just to reduce the weight of the blade.
I'm sure the question is, why does the hilt make me think that it's a hand-and-a-half sword? Why couldn't it be a two-handed-all-the-time sword? It's the fact the lower part of the hilt is that much thinner than the upper part. That makes it not-as-comfortable to hold in a two-handed grip all the time. It's a trade-off: sacrifice two-handed comfort to move the balance point up so the sword is more maneuverable one-handed. So it's a hybrid sword. Part one-handed, part two-handed. A hand-and-a-half sword, sometimes called a 'bastard' sword.
But to make that blade really maneuverable one-handed, it probably needs to be lightened, and therefore the taper. Assuming differential-tempered steel as the blade material, of course. Switching out materials for other things makes it really difficult to judge what's going on without actually handling the sword for reals.

hi. you are right. I planned this as one and half sword. I have no skill with real sword but saw some video explaining terminology and all types of swords. and I experience exhibition where 2 swordmen demonstrated how to use this long swords. And I am still confusing about more thing. For example tapering on blade. when I was browsing google then I found long these one and half swords and both hands swords with various type of taper or even someones without it. or that front grip on the blade. Someone have it and someone have not. In the past I found video about vikings swords and one of their sword have been quite thick. Very interesting information was that this blade had tip but blade wasnt sharpen at all. it wasnt mean to cut but brake a bones under armor just by its weight.

gorgeous! I would love to see this either 3d printed or made by hand.

tnx you mate. maybe i will publish some 3d models for free some some one can make real one.

there is some free slicer programs out there so you can see how'd they turn out without actually owning a printer. ideamaker and cura are a few i use

Yea I know. But for making real prop CAD programs are best way and these models are poly modeling type and they are not compatible

I've actually had decent luck just printing them as is

And the best part? The pommel doubles as a bottle opener.

yea. I have same idea as soon as I made it

I think they should have worked on it a little more, but if you can imaginary complete it as a lower case d and upper case A. They just edit them to look like a Z..................gocash7.com ++

It looks really nice, and I did have to look at it for a while trying to figure out if it was real or not. haha~
