Yup, it looks like the handle would be uncomfortable in the hand but the hump on top lays right in the curve of the palm and the dropped butt is far enough back that it doesn't pinch the pinky. Very comfortable!
 
I love the wood you seem to be able to find all the time as well as your treatment of it. It has such a satiny texture on the examples I have. Very, very nice.
