It was also the first thing I failed ;P.
Ended up with half the blade blackened and half whiteish.
Hard topic to start right after starting to model, but dont give up mate . That sounds like you didnt unwrap your model's uvs or had another mesh that effected the ao map of your model when baking.

Lets add this as a side note: Its important to have only the model you want to bake in scene when baking so it'll only get effected by its own geomety.
-Added a simple example of ao map, diffuse map; and two of them combined at first post.
