add more shine to the actual blade. the blade and handle are both the same color/shaded the same way so essentially it looks like the same material.
what is the grey part in the middle?
on your diagnol views you have floating pixels (2 i think) that create a white/transparent gap in them near the bottom copper looking handle on the side. I suggest rotating by hand or just going over it and making touch ups
is that a ruby? if so give it more shine
tl;dr: Contrast your color selections more. If you look on the interweb of peoples art you will notice some of the advanced art's color range is majorly wide going from red to white, but that gives the "shine" feel.
Good start though

The white part in the middle is just the handle ;) Thanks for the feedback, I'll build on what you've given me.
