I'll tell you why t has no shadow. Its because when you go to your point light, you have to go to shadows->depth map shadows-> on -> depth map resoultion-> at least 1024. And what I thought was the shadow was actually the sheath. I think. Its too black. Lighten it up a littly, bu=ecause yours has no color whatsoever. Make it very dark grey or something, but not pure black. Thats all of the advice I can give. I would like to know if you used a transparency map on the handle or not, though, for the holes in it. Anyways, I guess this is basically done, because you can't really add too much onto it... maybe the ribbons on the handle ??
