I find that true with most modelling.  Ignoring fancy shiny new features 
in favour or the most old fashioned but efficient method you can think 
of has got me out of many a problem.

The brass texture looks closer to copper/gold, and you might want to 
drop the ambient value on it a bit.

On a side not, I've looked at modelling one of my knives a few times, 
but been scared off by all the curves.

It's one of these :

Got it about twelve years ago and used it for field work, sample 
collection and crude dissection during my degree.

Still has the nigh on razor edge I put on it about nine years ago when I 
put it away.
