nearly all the knives I make are a curved handle on a straight tang. No problems yet....
I'm making a butt plate for a chitlangi and I'm using a solid piece of brass and then stock-reducing it to get the curve. An extra ounce or two on the back end should help the balance. You can set it in place with pins, peened and ground flush.
