    While I lean toward the Damascus blade, I would suggest slipping the handle on each blade and seeing which effect you prefer. After all,...you will be the one who is carrying/wearing it.

    I would use an oil finish on the rosewood to really bring out the grain, especially if you go with the black accents. Also I would use an arced pommel to finish the curved shape of the handle.
