  Pretty decent!
  
  Is this meant for a game or movie/TV or just as a still image?
  
  What are you rendering in?

  Just a still image for now, nothing for a game ;D. I rendered it straight from maya with mental image?

  Thanks for the clarification.
  

  1. Mental Ray, not mental image, just to clarify for future google stuff
  2. Metal has an interesting green patina noise on it, but could use more specular and roughness variance.  Also doesn't make sense there's a green patina on it given the way those blades are USUALLY made.
  3. Rubber grip looks rubbery, but once again could use roughness and specular variance.  Also details like dimples or ribbing would help make it pop
  4. There's a weird banding on the hand guard.  Looks bad.
  5. There's a weird line right before it gets to the spade tip of the blade.  Resolve that.

  Cheers for the details, will try to add them later. About the green stain, I wasn't aiming for realistic style or anything I just like the way the texture looked. And I think I can fix the line at the bottom, thanks !

  I added a half green/ half grey metal texture to the blade mesh, that's the green thingy that's reflecting at the bottom
