Image 2 of 2.

A closer up of the handle and the start of the blood groove/fuller. The patterning that leads into the blood groove/fuller was based off the Original buster sword used back Angeal and Zack, then later on passed down to Cloud. The handle can also possibly be contributed to the Buster sword. Loved its handle and end cap.

Modeled in Google Sketchup 7.
