I really like the “hand hilt” George, great symbolism … but it begs for another one on the scabbard so that when the blade is sheathed the hands are “shaking”, as in a peaceful gesture.
Maybe the whole suit should fall into this theme, along the lines of the character Emporer Colm Feore’s three-faced helmet in Chronicles of Riddick; fierce, ever vigilant, all-seeing, etc.
