The guttering it's not only a question of estetic. The sense of put that metal reinforce is to avoid the point can cut the sides of the wooden sheath. The Pompei have less point and for that reason only the upper part is protected. The Mainz, Fulham and hispaniensis have a long point, so need a side guttering.
I have to congratulate you, again, for that master work and for choose an alternative style of sword, runnig away of the triada Mainz/ Fulham /Pompeii.
