I have textured it quickly was just wondering if there were any improvements I could make before going and doing a proper texture

  1. Every edge is smooth, while only some of them should be.
  2. Afaik, there are too many faces used for the handle. You could still get a good result using less of them. If it supposed to be used in game, then its a part of a weapon you see rarely while it still has to be rendered all the time.
  3. There are some faces missing - bottom part of the blade that extends backwards (I think its called a butt or a hammer).
  4. The Blade is slightly misaligned with the shaft - they probably should be centered along axis.
  5. It would be better to have separate solids of a blade and a butt, as long as making textures is concerned. That could be done be a simple boolean operation - substracting the shaft solid from the blade soild. That way you will know at which point they connect with the shaft (that area is usually darker).
  6. Not sure what material is used for the shaft, but if its wood then its afaik a bit too thin.
