  Should be interesting what you end up with. In regards to the baking, it shouldn't be too difficult on a model such as this. I recently used xNormal (it's free), when I needed to quickly bake a model and it was ridiculously easy to use and the results were pretty good. I recommend trying it, see what you can do with it. From there you could learn how to bake normals in your modelling package.

  Also ditch the pitch black background or even a dark grey for this model, your model gets lost in it due to its colour.

  The wireframe is way too dense to display in any reasonable way.

  Why is the hilt getting a lot more UV space than the blade?

  Why ? O_o I thing you need to work a bit more on UV before you jump to texture. There's a LOT of waster space, you have 2 separates uv sets, density doesn't work at all.

  you need to maintain equal pixel ration through out your prop.
  TO show this throw on a checker material that has been tiled 10-15 times and adjust the UVs so all the squares ARE square and the same size.
  
  Also the concept shows a lot more detail in the handle than you are showing. Try and work on one piece at a time. This has a LONG WAY to go to being a first pass.

  Your sword has interesting shapes :thumbup:
  
  I agree with Odow, you get a better result with a good uv setup. Are you working with a highpoly? If so you could sculpting your details direct on your mesh,
  I think the normal details would give your model a more interesting looking structure.
