sword model

So here is the finish remodel of the sword ( original desing from Michael Roger).
Like M and howardporter ask me to do a better job at the wings an the top of the handle.
I think It looks better that before, the wings look more sharp on the edges and also I put more subdivisions with the split poligon tool on the top and bottom of the handle to make it look more hard.
Is there another way to make it look more hard without making subdivisions?
I tried to use edit polygons - normals - soften / harden , and all hard on the edges but it make them look faceted.

If you convert the lowpoly object to subd's you can crease the edges. But that means working with subd's which may or may not be what you want.

I like it, but I find the way the blades of grass are pointing tends to lead my eye to your tree rather than your sword. I like the colours a lot.

what about having a torn scarf fluttering in the wind wrapped around the handle of the sword? that would be really cool. Witchy's right about the blades of grass though
