You have my sympathy when it comes to slicing digits.
I lost the tip of my left first finger when I was six, and when I was 19 the same finger was cut by glass which severed the skin nerve. It took years for the nerves to reconnect.
I cannot count the number of times I have accidentally sliced my fingers or thumbs with knives (usually when washing them). Not many scars left, though.
And my grandfather once had an accident with a sickle that left one of his thumbnails with a permanent step after the sickle cut through not only the nail but also the nail bed.

Make a nice bun-shaped pommel, It won't be taken seriously with the M. S. connection! :-)
I agree. That was the only thing that I thought brought the overall look of the mounted sword down.
