Here is one I just finished up this past week. Ground the blade from .178 thick S110V, hand finished to 600 grit. As with the previous ones, this was done on a 2x42 craftsman. This was my second partial tang blade and it turned out great! Handle is OD green G10 with peened and sanded brass pins and a stainless thong tube. I am really liking the balance and feel of this little guy, rounded spine and unsharpened swedge. Blade shape is super useful, too.

The lanyard is a bead I made from a piece of Jerusalem Olive wood and brass tubing.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.
 
I just finished the sheath and will try to get some better pics up.
 
Thanks guys!. John, I am really liking partial tangs. I am making a few more in different styles and handle materials. It is definitely a different feel then a full tang, even a tapered tang blade. I know some folks think it is not a strong enough construction, but the tang is full width of the blade, much like a full tang and should be almost (if not just as) strong as a full tang blade.
