I agree with that 100%. It'd still be a fine looking knife, but not near as fine as the sgians you've already produced, IMHO.

When a knife tapers down at the butt like that, I always feel like pressure on the handle moves the knife out of my hand, rather than keeping my hand firmly in place (as with a butt end that's flared a bit).
