If you "need a lot more practice", then I need WHOLE LOT  :) .  Great looking knife.

Good design. I'd be interested in knowing the guards attachment. Lin

Thanks for all the compliments fellows; Mr. Lin, the guard is Nickel Silver and is pinned and silver soldered.

The configuration is interesting to me. I take it that you slotted the guard and slid it up onto the tang and right against the back of the blade ricasso.

This is a very good option for a handle, guard, and blade transition.
