Let's make a Sai knife!

Hello again, Polycount! You may remember me as the person that was making the green drinking fountain a couple of weeks ago. I've started a new project and would like some of your input on it!

Here's the reference for the sai. (Note: I've changed the top part and the "emblem" on the handle on purpose.. so naturally the head has got me stuck.)

Here's what I have so far (I'll symmetry over the side-blade later.)

And here's my main issue, the head.... (I do have reference of goats, by the way, for this top bit.)
Any tips for making a cool normal map of this thing?

    Better refs? I can't distinguish the little details in the pommel from that one ref.

    Try blocking it out with floating geometry like your doing now, saving a screenshot of the wires, and re-drawing an ideal edgeloop flow over it. Then deleting faces and reconnecting them to make it happen.
