Very nice icon, however it's sword or blade is a bit small, if it was a little bigger it would have been better. +rep because you deserve more than your current points.

Thx a lot, i didn't get a lot of positive comments and this is really pleasant to see someone who thinks i deserves more than i have ^^
Btw, the blade is small because it's not a heavy sword but rather somekind of fencing saber.

It seems kinda dull, just various shades of gray, but it is a well made icon. Try making the colors other than gray a little more vibrant. Then again, I have no experience in icon making, so that may have been what you intended.

Remember, when doing Swords in WC3 icons, never try to put the whole object in the 64x64 frame. Chose a part you wish to put focus on and try to fit it in the icon. For example, you made a very nice handle - then you try to put focus on the handle, like so:

Or, maybe you want to show more of the blade, then you try to put a big part of the blade on focus(but not ALL of it, remember!), like so:

Also, the background seems a little strange to me at the moment, but it's probably just personal opinion.

I like the black glow (?) and the grey background very much, but just like debode said before, you should focus on the handle or the blade

Thats an interesting advice. I will use it well.
I wonder why some people says the bg is weird. Actually i thought i suceeded making a nice bg. I wanted to use the grey to fix with the "silver" part of the sword, but if i made a glow around the sword, we wouldn't be able to see it. I noticed so that the black was the best to define the sword, and got the idea to add a glow to the borders of the icon.
If it doesn't look... warcraftly correct, i will think about remading the bg.

This is quite small in size too see the details of the sword, also the gray background on both of the sides of the icon are weird also.
