Thanks for the compliments but that's not talent, that's hours of work. (That took me four/five days to create.) I'm a programmer mainly so I thought I would try my hand at something more artistic.
It's funny you should mention Blenders UI, I took one look at it and thought it was horrendous! That's the reason I went to Wings 3D, it was much simpler to work out what was going on! Besides that, I don't really need to do animations, but considering there are a lot of Open Source programs these days, as you mentioned, that are close to or better than their commercial counterparts, that are used in industry these days, I may turn my head and look again at a later date.
With regards to the poly count, I managed to keep those two quite low, the sword itself has 790 and the scabbard is on 900 (total of 1690 if you use the weapon.). Annoyingly because it's a sword/scabbard combination, they get moved together and therefore increase.
I shall see if I can make a more eloquent weapon later and I am sure I will run into some problems that I'll have collar you for.
In the meantime, keep up the good work, I always enjoy looking at other peoples items and stealing their ideas!

Add the straw hat as a usable item. I feel naked without it!
Add back Nordic armour! I have nowhere warm to sleep now!
