well you say you need to make it more real, but we dont know what your limits are.. The only thing I can say is the hilt is too flat and looks like it should be not continuous with the handle..

It seems as though the sword is mostly shaped in the x and z, and not so much in the z direction. I'd say you should make a little more 'height' contrast between the actual blade and the grip.
But other than that I think it looks quite ok for using in a game, especially when you texture it.

dont worry about the limits. i just need to kno how to make the blade look like its real metal. and as for everything being too flat here is another angle. i hope this helps.
