Ok, so here are some pics. I've been working on this in my spare time since I found out that my school had Alienware Laptops that we could use (note to self: Alienware + lap = bad idea!) with 3dsmax 8 on them, so I havent put too much effort into it. Heres some quick renders I made because I had to go to my next class:

This is it in its closed position. I was wondering if you guys could give me some comments/critz, as I think it looks kind of bland. I plan on UVW wrapping it if I can, here are some pieces of textures I riped from the knife I am copying off of:

Im trying to get most of the details of the knife out of the textures. Right now my plan for an opening animation is him simply moving the knife up and the blade swinging out and locking into place (I may make a gif to make it easier to explain). Obviously there will be a stab attack, but im debating whether or not to make it throwable. That would be harder to do, but I like challenges. XD
So anyways, what do you think I should improve? Should I change anything? thanks for comments etc. I'll try and post an image of the original knife for comparison.
