A word of advice: Swords in Terraria tend to be much smaller than that. Currently, the largest sword in the game is the Breaker Blade, which has a 70 x 80 resolution. (35 x 40 in single pixels)
This isn't necessarily a hard limit, but wildly deviating from that isn't usually a good idea. Plus, smaller sprites take less time to make and polish; it's usually advised to start small so you can hone your technique before trying something more ambitious.
Another important factor is that detail is proportional to size. Scaling up the resolution of your sprite can make it look bland and empty if you don't add additional features. The reverse is also true; trying to cram too much detail into a tiny sprite can make it cluttered and unreadable. It's generally a good idea to figure out the size you want to work with, and add details accordingly. Or, if you're hard-set on a certain design, you may need to size up or shrink down your sprite so it matches.

Not a sprite i made but

Shading on handle and blade do need work, though, plus the handle feels too skinny and long to be a part of that sword but then again...

The handle is suppossed to be that long on that type of blade (the zanbato)
For reference heres a photo of the blade from the manga i got the original design from

I know using someone else's idea is kinda frowned upon but I've been writing a story about someone who uses one and I wanted to make a visual to base it off of and I've also wanted my own personal zanbato design. (The story takes place in a terraria world)

Oh, I didn't have a problem with your sprite concept itself, just the shading and detail and banding. Your zanbato is perfectly fine, though looking at the images of said zanbato, you probably want to saw off around 1/2 of the handle (It's long, but not as long as the blade itself...)

If you are doing terraria sprites its best you do them in 2x2 pixels or 1x1 and rezise it to 2x2. You should never work in resolutions higher than intended because it will look wierd and messy.
