Smooth!
Darn! I should be trying some more melee like weapons aswell with 3D.. do you still model in 3ds max? (i viewed some of your other pieces aswell)
I do model in it myself.. believe 3ds max 2011. but I have no experience at all in rendering other than using standard ones like the default render engine or mental ray..
The render views and use of focus really adds something more to it. not to mention the damn realistic and superb looking models! good job, I love it!
