Let's give the grip a little more form. Convert the cylinder to
an Editable Poly object and in the Top viewport scale your
edge loops as shown in Figure 10-21.

This gives the grip a rounded form that looks like it would be
comfortable to hold.
For now let's do a really simple pommel. A pommel is an
adornment that balances the sword or dagger for use. Ours is
going to be just a sphere for now. In the Top viewport create a
sphere that overlaps the grip of the dagger. Keep the size
within reason, and make sure that the flat end of the grip is
fully inside the sphere. Figure 10-22 shows what I ended up
with.
