It looks like a good pattern to me, be careful when dropping the but of the handle that the top of the handle doesn't get parallel to the bottom or starts to taper distally away from the blade. In my experience, knife handles should always be fatter at the back like yours is, this makes up for the fat bit of your hand where your thumb attaches to.
I would get the grind fixed and keep it how it is though. It would look good with a stripy wooden handle with the stripes going laterally. I don't know what the wood I am thinking of is called, tiger wood maybe?
