Well, now you can see the original. It appears I'm not that close as I thought. The blade doesn't need shortening (much), but it does have a shinier texture and a longer groove. I'm reworking it completely. And the handle has even more plastic texture than mine. :-) I used a combination of Bryce plankwood texture and a leather photo. What makes it shiny is Ambient colour. I tried putting black, but you can't see the texture then. Thanks for the suggestions, everybody. BTW, if you're interested, the inscription on the guard comes from Psalm 16 from the Bible. I simply like such double meanings on weapons. :-)
