I'm too sleepy to explain for non-3ds people... I'll do it tomorrow.
I've attached complete meshes for the head and blade as .max and .3ds. In the .max, I managed to get a file not collapsed even once, so it goes right down to the spline I stared with. The .3ds has the Meshsmooth NURMS removed.
I forgot the textures in the file below... get them here:
