The grip and scabbard look pretty nice, but the blade still kinda sucks. You should try to get the blade somewhere more like this
That is from Fudou Myouou Katana and Tachi by China-YYK Moral cat if you wanted to check out those texture files. My guess is you'll probably need to edit the mesh as well with NifSkope to add environment mapping and reflection.
I've added an environment map in the latest update, but it's not nearly as strong as the one in the example you provided; Akaviri swords are ancient and seem well-used, so they wouldn't likely have a perfect mirror polish. Still, they have better reflections now.
It would only need a simple edit to the texture's colors, so it could easily be done. I think it matches well enough, but I'll consider tweaking the colors for the next version.

Im gonna see if this sword retexture goes with Amidianborn armor for the Blade and if it does i endorse and if not i endorse too
Nice work
But if it doesnt do u think it can be tweaked so that it would?
Endorsing and looking forward to the HD normal maps and color tweak(btw i checked in game and it just needs a little darker blue the rest is fine
U are right it matches it well enough,but im THAT guy who likes to nitpick at things so dont mind me "D
just color swap
