That is going to be one stunning knife...
It could, but it probably won't be.
The patternation is amazing, it will go really well with the carbon fibre.
Is the tapered tang there to help shift the balance line towards the centre?
Looking good so far btw.

Certainly is. The blade is tapered as well, but with scales and bolsters on it will be handle heavy. Which is how I like it. Because it is such a thick stock and has stainless steel bolsters, the larger taper is needed more than usual. When the blade and tang are seen from above, it will appear almost symmetrical.
Full flat (giving distal taper ) and big taper tang always look good on extra thick stock
No Adder Diamond File pattern on the tang ??

That did cross my mind. It would look especially snake like on a tapered tang.
well to be accurate you will need to drill decreasing diamond holes and fill with black
you can tell Stu
Pah, yeah right. Just two words... Halloween costume. Now move along and stop trolling.
