A general crit for everyone (if I may), you're still designing a blade. Keep that in mind.
There is more to design than making it look purty, make it look like it would work, and you'll be adding a whole new level of awe to your design. Half the ones seen in this thread would be horrible to use, some of them look more like rocks than blades. The jagged edges are waaay overdone. Try to imagine holding your blade and actually using it in a fight.
Even fantasy designs still need to look useable to some extent.
Those are my crits. Quality wise most of these are excellent though.
