ABS style hunters?

I haven't fired up the forge in nearly two years, but I still like to make a stick tang hunter once in a while. This blade is 3/16 1080 carbon steel at 60 RC, shaped by stock removal. The guard is brass and the contoured handle is some good striped cocololo. I know brass is currently out of favor with some folks, but the customer requested it in this case.

This is a question, not a promo, as this knife is already gone to the customer. Assuming that in the future I'll work toward the ABS JS stamp, what elements of this knife are "off" from the typical style? I know there's a bobble in the plunge on the back side.

Im not a forger myself (yet) but I think it is not so much the style as the fit and finish and performance they look at. Im sure some will chime in. Either way best of luck in your quest!
