Fix the sharpness of the blade

What's wrong with it?

Well, if its a sword then make the blade sharp.

So I could either darken the whole blade except the edges that are on the sides where the light shines, or brighten those areas with little effect due to the glow which will make it blend. If you look at the full image you should be able to see it.

There's not much I can do about it other than say 'it's the style'

Edit: I realize what you're saying, don't get me wrong.
It's just that I tried to make a icon where the object I wanted to show had he same color as the background while still making it stand out. If I create a sharper blade it will probably ruin a bit of the softness it has right now.
Whether you and everyone else like it is up to you, it was merely an experiment

like it now ... please don't cahnge!
it is good like it is.

3/5 looks a bit curved to me, but if you meant it meh. Otherwise i like it.

Exactly what looks curved? since both the handle and the blade comes from the same set of lines

Another sword icon to add to the hive. Looks good enough to be approved.

You should 'experiment' more often.
