What I created

I have started to create a sword blade in Maya from my design idea. I have the basic shape of my blade but I still need to make refinements to make the blade more sharp and more clear.
Problems I encountered
One problem I encountered was when I deleted the edge, the vertex was still there which created problems when I tried to change and edit certain faces on my model. Getting the general shape was also difficult as there are many edges and I couldn’t edit. I had a few overlapping faces which I fixed and that made changing the shape difficult.
