You pic is one of the ones I have also been concidering.

And yes, Scott, your design is one of the reasons for the tweaking

Oh No! Hopefully I haven't thrown you off-kilter with my request

The tapered rear end seems under-developed to me. Almost like the rest of the knife has been pumping iron while the end has been slacking off. Kind of like guys who go to the gym to 'buff up' but only focus on arms and chest and end up with tiny chicken legs on a giant torso

Maybe part of the problem altering your designs is that your initial full-tangs are so nicely balanced and proportioned? Over thinking and making changes for the sake of change is certainly something I've been known to do.
