looking any better

nice design, only thing i would do would be to countour the handle a little more, scales look kinda flat with just corners rounded off. is that micarta, is so when contouring them they will bring out a really nice pattern, that looks good if you make the same on both sides, it will also make the handle fit the users hand more comfortably. only my opinion .
 
Looks good. I would have to agrea with atacach The handle could use some more beveling and finishing. I do like the design though and everything else looks pretty good.
 
Like the others said, more contour on the handle.

The smaller decorative pins need to be moved forward to be centered between the larger pins/bolts. The brain will draw a line between the point of the blade and anything it can focus on like pins... one of the large pins needs to be moved to be on the imaginary line (I've found that if you have something way off line the eye doesn't want to put it online.)

The forward finger groove needs to be at a larger radius, looks like it would pinch the finger after prolonged use (could be just me though, hard to tell without handling.)

You need to clean the brass out of the micarta, this may be a optical illusion but looks like there's brass dust around the pins in the scales.

Scale fitting and the tang look very good and you got the plunge pretty close to being matched although it does look a little off center. Remember, the first thing a lot of buyers will do is immediately look at the plunge area when inspecting a knife for purchase.

Vern, the knife looks great, the fitup is great, I'm just being very picky like you said ;)
