I won't check (Dial-Up), but I think you're the guy that uploaded the Felguard helmet. It doesn't work. It's crap. this however, is probably one of my favorite models that i've downloaded. it's a nice looking sword. 10/10 Just my Style.
Poly count really isn't that important on attachments. You're only likely to see a few of them at most and computers these days should have no problem with several hundred or even thousand poly models on the screen at the same time. If a 114 poly model is making your computer choke then it's time for you to buck up and purchase some upgrades.

Lol who is einstein ? Look at frostmourne, learn something and what is alpha texture. If you want, i'll make a sword like this with less than 50 polys...
