How exactly odd?
The jewels aren't consistent with the borders of the metal handle around them.
They don't match up scale wise.
I would take my time to point this out, since the artist usually needs a 3rd perspective to see his own art.
It's not proportioned correctly either, the rubies are off-center and look strange.
This, and the handle it's self (The center rod) looks odd and over complicated.
I suggest you redo the entire handle and match up it's scale with the blade.
If you didn't understand us, I suggest nothing else.
