Interesting design. You should make the dip on the back side of the sword a little more round, and increase the size of the pommel. (pommel = ball at end of handle.) Also, on the guard of the handle, the green section pointing at where your hand goes, bend that up a little, pointing less at the handle. |

You might consider using lighter/darker shades of the adjacent squares to break up sections in a way that implies light/shadow over angles. I took the original image and broke up the black shading on the blade section with two additional colors as a way to demonstrate what I'm suggesting:
