"Rittermörder" Sword

For my first attempt at using Blender, I made this strange type of sword I originally found on https://www.reddit.com/r/SWORDS/ (though I've not been able to find the original post). Dubbed the Rittermörder by one of my friends, it appears to be a 15th-century-ish sword specifically designed for fighting opponents in full harness - functionally a poleaxe in sword form. The unique weapon caught my interest and I decided it'd be a good way to get to learn how Blender works compared to 3DS Max and Maya.

Modelled in Blender - as mentioned, first time using the program - and textured by hand in Photoshop, before rendering it in Marmoset Toolbag 3.
