Wicked looking knife.  I think the curls make it look very cool.

Another vote to leave the pommel the way it is.  Adds a lot of character and you could tie a wrist thong onto it if you were doing some heavy chopping.

Looks great Frank. I would leave the curly steel embellishments if I were you. They really enhance the unique look of that knife.
