Model of the iconic slot hilt sabre. With 80cm length, the blade features a fearsome broad fuller and very aggressive distal taper(reduction in thickness). It tapers from 8mm at the base to half of that in less than 1/3 to the tip. The top 1/3 area are less than 2mm, giving the sword excellent handling despite its width.
Such officer’s sword would usually have its grip wrapped in fish skin and metal wires. A metal sheet is also present to cover the back of the grip for durability, though it can sometimes be slippery.
Traditionally, the guard was cast in brass, hence the gold look. Brass is soft, so people also ordered steel guards that gilded in brass to match the regulation. 3D Model is ready to download for free, this model contains 621002 polygons.

Plot summary from IMDB: The film takes place in the not-so-distant future, at a time in which Earth’s plant life has been decimated. Only a few specimens of flora have been preserved, and are currently in space in a fleet of orbiting greenhouses. When orders from Earth are received to destroy the greenhouses, botanist and ecologist Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) can’t go through with it, and cannot persuade his three colleagues to help him save the plants, so he makes other “arrangements”.
The model was created in Blender while aiming to keep poly-count and geometry details at minimum levels (in favor of good real-time performance). Thanks to Mark Dowman (Lunadude) and DeviantArt-user unusualsuspex for providing orthogonal 3D views and photos that inspired this model. 3D Model is ready to download for free, this model contains 180500 polygons.
