I'm a fellow who likes to carry a usable knife, and won't carry a sgian dubh unless it has a good blade. With that in mind, I like a sgian that fits comfortably in the hand and on the leg. A little shape to the handle is nice for looks, but personally, I'd want a lower level of decorative relief. I also like the handle portion to not be too out of balance with the blade, as that can promote the knfe migrating out of the sock.
You do excelent work, sir, and every one of your pieces that I've seen would fit the above bill, I'm sure. If anything, perhaps some shaping on both sides of the handle, but a bit lower than your usual outside scale?
