Much better. I hope you do agree for yourself as well. Remember, taste is personal.

The repair on the backside of the wrangka is invisible. Great!! Maybe you can try to work on the repair on the frontside to make it invisible as well. Take a look at this link.

Hello Henk,
I have done already sometimes repairs like this and nearly every time I am happy by my work. Here have been the problem that a small wood seam missing at the fold. But in real it's not so much to see like in the picture. Seems that I have to live with this blemish.
Agree with you, the planar hilt look better.
