I am not really a herald, but here is my 2 cents. I am sure I will get corrected if I am wrong.  

I am seeing two potential problems with this design. 

1) I am not really sure that you can fimbriate a trefoil knot.  The RFS VIII.3 says "Voiding and fimbriation may only be used with simple geometric charges placed in the center of the design."  I am not sure this is considered a "simple geometric charge" for the purposes.

2) The thinness of the knot hampers identifiabilty if it is counterchanged.

The real decision factor is identifiablility of the charge.  Personally I think that is a problem in this case.  Maybe a differnt rendition ofthe knot would help (with thicker lines) but I currently doubt it.
