hi, it looks good. to put leather on it, id probably do a UV unwrap on it, and paint a bump map. You may not know how to do that yet, but the sooner you learn the better. There’s a tutorial link in my sig, for UV mapping, but note that it is getting a bit outdated. try checking the tutorials forum for more recent documentation. also, you could use those techniques to put engraving on the blade.
