The biggest issue right now, how do I get rid of visible UV seams? It works alright on the blade because I can just use the sharp edges as seams, but as you have noticed on the guard I mirrored along the middle axis. When choosing the edges as seams I cant paint those properly which looks poorly done. How do you solve that problem on your models?
That white line is surrounding area bleeding into the texture, should probably fix that.  :-\

For me, to fix visible UV seams, I use the seam tool (ctrl + E, mark seam) only on edges, so that when I unwrap it only splits on the edge and not across the center.

UV edge seams are pretty logic based; if you make a cube and tell the model to unwrap by unwrapping an edge seamed square on the cube, it'll perfectly unwrap one square on the cube and unwrap the REST of the cube based on those specific edge seams. Without edge seams, everything unwraps as a square and looks like poop.

If you have a line of vertices going down the center of your guard, you should check and see if it is marked for unwrap via the 'center vertices' line.

I'd give some pictures, but I'm at school right now. I may edit this post when I get home and upload pictures hope I helped.

Edit: Ah, I forgot. For things like cylinders and stuff, you want to edge seam the top and bottom circles and one line of the side of the cylinder. What this does is it unwraps the two circles as circles and the cylinder as a flat sheet, making it easier to texture.

Anyway, the sword looks white at the tip, is this just because of the angle of the picture or actually there at all angles.
