I would question why the handle is so detailed then the blade has just 9 edges for the curve of the blade at the end, The shilloute is slightly Jaggy yet your handle is super detailed.
You could also quite easily get rid of all the detail in the model of the handle and bake it into the normal map, this could be done as a Lod level,
Also for the blade, you can get away with just duplicating one side of the blade for texturing, because theres literally no situation your should be able to see both sides of it at once.. (thats more of a texture saving tip for when your limited for texture space though..
Other than those querys, I'd say overall It looks and feels like a knife, the material on the blade looks a good mix between the matte "coated" area of the blade and the sharpened metal feel.
The white blade edge bigger than it should be, most of the blade will be the same dark treated metal. You have also missed the wavy grooves at the back of the blade. At the top of grip there is a transition to an angled planar surface that isn't present on your model.
@RedRougeXII: Thank you for the link! I am aware that the handle is not made out of wood, but i kinda like the woody texture on the handle. I was not going for the 100% accurate model, but now i think on the next project i need to do more research. Thanks anyway!
