Those look awesome. Its nice to see a folder from the tactical category dressed up with some more traditional stuff. I'm working on a similar project with a spyderco delica.
With the thickness of the aluminum and stag your using their just a little thicker than I'd want them. Although they probably feel pretty good in hand when your using them, it'd be a little awkward to carry, and it would be nice to still have use of the pocket clip. If I were you I would pick up some titanium to use for the bolsters, you can get 6al4v from les halpern at www.halperntitanium.com . And then maybe either some thinner stag, or jigged bone for the scales from any of the knife making supply houses. I really like how they look but if it was me I'd want them slimmed down some. Just my opinion, your work looks really good as is though.

It'll feel better when it stops hurting.
