With this the main shaping is almost all done and the smoothing is mostly done. Just a bit more work and it will be ready for paint

I was a bit conflicted on the pommel, as the two I've seen made seem to have a different styled pommel than the one from my reference pictures, so I decided to go with the one from my pics. I'm glad I did as well, I think it looks much better than the other one.
1 - What did you do to make the handle so cylindrical?
2 - For the sharp, clean edges around the blade, what was the process for making those? I was debating using a router, but that has led to mixed results on blade sharpness in the past, chipping included :\
and power tools on something that refined is usually a bad idea, I did it all by hand with an 8 inch rasp/file. I'm using a dremel on my dark repulsor only because its a much harder material, the plastic, but I still have to come back and clean it up with the rasp.
And is the Handle and the pommel separated from the Blade?
