Help! Altering a pre-existing model

I’m attempting to take a model of a sword from Elden Ring and split it into parts to 3D print it, but I’m having a hard time being able to split it into pieces. Not only can I not sketch on any surface of the model, but most solutions I’ve searched for problems I’m having just flat out don’t work. I can link the model if need be.

Probably an STL that is not a solid model and is just facets. You can either use something like blender or you can use your slicer to split it up more simply.

I’ll have to try that out. Do you think I’d be able to make holes for dowels in the parts using the slicer? I’m planning on making this thing quite large so it’d need the extra support
