  • $\begingroup$ Daniel, Welcome to Blender.stackexchange. I had some difficulty viewing the screen shot you posted, and then when I managed to view the screen shot, I could not tell which edge you were having trouble selecting. Your mileage may vary, and I'm not sure how you're trying to select the edges that are giving you difficulty, but in my own modeling, many of the instances where I cannot select an edge become resolved when I select the vertices at where I think each end of the edge should be with the box or circle tool in wireframe mode, and apply the "remove doubles" tool.

  • $\begingroup$ [Continued from above] Or instead of the "remove doubles" tool, you can deactivate the "limit selection to visible" button in the header of the 3D viewport. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 24, 2014 at 4:36
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks for the quick response. It's the two lines at the bottom right of the hilt(the two bluish triangles). They show up as edges but there's no black line connecting the vertices. The edges don't move either. If I pull the faces outward, they disappear, but If I push them inward, the edges reappear. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 24, 2014 at 5:56
  • $\begingroup$ Looks like a non-planar face or two, possibly an ngon, but it's hard to tell in the screenshot. Is it possible you could upload the .blend? $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 24, 2014 at 6:15
  • $\begingroup$ I think Gandalf3 is probably right. What you might try is to switch to face select mode, wireframe view. I would expect here that you should see the activating square for the rectangle, and if select that face, and then delete "faces only", the problem should resolve itself. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 24, 2014 at 6:22
