Be careful with the smooth mesh preview, as your aiming for a game model your going to want each poly to hold it's own as well as possible. And the smoothing can misguide you on how the mesh is actually looking... sometimes making you over edit sections, and sometime under-editing them, and not using each poly to it's full potential.
Unless this is going to be a high-res that you will retopo?

this is at 3604 tri's so far, i think this low res thing is fairly straight forward so far.
not happy with the topology to link the hands and arms so i will redo it tomorrow.

Its a kukri - they are pretty cool tools, plus a mate of mine is a Gurkha, so its an homage to him.
model, render, textured in 2 1/2 hours.
(the maps aren't finished but will do for tonight. The render settings are really low for these which is why they are blotchy.
