There are a few different ways to do this.  One of the easiest is with extrusion.  For that to happen, you’ll need something to extrude from, so I suggest adding a Icosphere for the pommel: File – add mesh – Icosphere – let’s say two iterations.  Seems huge now, doesn’t it?  You can scale it down to the right size now, or just create a giant sword and scale the whole thing down later.  Either way, things will be easier if you align it to the axes first.  You want one endpoint of the sphere to be facing the same direction as the reference sword’s point is facing, along the Y axis.  Use the “z” key and a bounding circle (press b twice) to select the whole Icosphere, or for a faster method press “a.”  Use the “r” command to rotate the sphere.  Typing “r-x” will let you rotate on the X axis, “r-y” on the Y axis, and “r-z” on the Z axis.
