I made this model to get some practise texturing, and I've stared myself blind on it now and I could use some input to be honest on whatever seems to be off. Anything is welcome!

Its on about 600 tris, texture size is 1024x512 and it has a diffuse, spec and normal map. Was thinking about doing a gloss map but havent gotten to that yet.

Wires:

Some marmo-renders:

Diffuse:

Spec:

NM:

Cheers!

Compared to the blade, the handle looks extremely clean and unused. If a blade had seen that much wear, the handle would too

The blade details looks great. the parts between the grip that separate the wood should have little or no spec so that they sit lower. atm they have the same spec all whole handle so the normal map is not having much effect. doesn't really show much depth. otherwise it might be worth adding a few edge loops.
