Macuahuitl (katana)

Description
This was an original work because I couldn't find an existing version to port. The Macuahuitl* is a Mesoamerican one-or-two-handed obsidian-spiked sword-club, and supposedly the last authentic one was lost in a fire over 100 years ago. This means old artwork and modern replicas served as the bases for the model's appearance (only 6597 polygons). I took the creative liberty to add the metal meander on the side just for decoration (as for why it doesn't get bloody- it's probably cursed).
I can't animate in the Source engine, so the default animations were used. If anyone wants to port this, feel free to do so.
*I suspect its pronunciation would go "Ma-kwa-wee-tul".

The incoming horde nets you 10 to 30 years worth of sacrifices per swing. Get swinging.
