Looks pretty good. I do think it looks a little boring with this true grey color. Try using a blueish grey. It will be more interesting and will look more like steel.
Notice that the blade and handle have lighting coming from the left but the thing in the middle (can't think of its name, lets call it the "thingy") with all the busy bits in them have the light coming from the right. Also you have a missing pixel in black where that thingy meets the handle. There is also a stray pixel on the right side of the thingy.
In case you are interested there is another thread about called "dagger" in the WIP section where I placed an example that may give you visual help. (new forum layout does not yet have the links working for us coding dummies)


ps. Is the mac your name or compy?

EDIT: I will guess it will be your name cuz all macs are happy
