Okay I used vladvlad's settings for this and the render was still surprisingly fast must have a better computer than I predicted. Here it is, is this what you meant?

Very nice, the lower area of the hilt is a bit low poly, but the rest is good

Thanks, and thanks for the rendering details too, will be making better renders now :P.

Try adding a floor and lay the swords on them, it looks badass

Can I just ask if the wrapped leather texture I've seen used as a handle is built in with c4d or not, if so what is it called?

I dunno all the preset materials

just made some shit.it's looks bad because i have totally no brains,so...here it is.

You should get rid of that blood

my old low-poly katana, re-made materials and re-rendered

Materials look nice. Except the blade
