Hello, i'm kinda of new to 3d modeling and am trying to model an axe, but when i go into the smoothed mode it looks a weird shape and not sharp. It also loses the point at the top. I don't know how to fix it, any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

You have to tighten up your edges where you want them to hold shape after smoothing. I can do a bit for you if you upload what you have now (.ma file) for an example if you wish.

Attached is just a quick example using what you had. You will need to clean up the blade edges as they are deformed and you had triangles and rogue vertex and some messed up geometry with multiple faces and edges over themselves. But you can see what is needed to get and keep edges. You can adjust from there for the look you want.

Good Luck!
