OH!! there's the thingy ;) I like the paint chipping texture for the wood. Just one question.... is that a sword or a dagger. If it's a sword, It seems a little small sized up to the boards of wood (unless the boards are just huge ofcourse). If it's a dagger, perhaps adding something else into the image to compare it's size to. Just an idea. You can just ignore me if you want. I always feel dumb telling others to change their images :) the modeling of the handle is very well done. One more thing..... I would also try putting a fold or crease(did I spell that right??) in the cloth.
