Hello, here is my addition to the contest. I kinda got the idea that the model had to be in such a manor that legions of soldiers in a real time video game had to carry these suckers around. So I tried to get as much detail with as low of poly count as I could. Only 218 verticies, 428 faces. In theory you could have a few thousand of these things flying around the screen with absolutely no drop in fps.
I call it "The Sheep Gutters rune sword". It is carved completely out of some rare rock, found from say uh... an asteroid that fell to earth? Needless to say by the blood stains, quite a few sheep have been "gutted" with this perticular sword.

Texturemap is 512x512 at 16kb model size is 9kb. Created in truespace 5. Model completed in less than 15 minutes :D
Enjoy,
Scott
