Critique please. It’s a small knife if you’re not familiar with the robin 2.

Kyle,
The way the scrolls originate from the middle of the knife from behind a small scroll is bothersome.

thank you for the reply. do you think maybe it should start in the area of the larger scroll?
Kyle, Scrolls usually progress from larger scrolls to smaller.
With the shape of your knife, try starting two panels, starting each from the larger ends of the design and meeting in the middle.
See what you can come up with and one that pleases you.

i think it looks a bit awkward to do a symmetrical design in that shape. even though the design is symmetrical, it really is not in the constraint of the scale shape.

Not sure what to do with the space up top but I like this.

Easy !! Eliminate the last scroll in your design.
Start an opposing pattern from the other, wider end.
Adjust the terminal outside work from the secondary scrolls where they nearly meet in the narrower area.
Just a thought.

i think you should invest in one of the books on scroll design. you need to learn how best to fit design effectively in crazy lookin spaces. your basic spines look ok to me. it's simply one of making them work in a given shape.
