Does anyone have any thoughts about this knife? How should it be made? Should I stain the handle a darker color? Should I inlay turquoise into the butt? What style of sheath should I use?

I'm actually having a hard time figuring the best way to enlarge the slot in the guard to fit the tang of my knife. It purposefully came way to small so that the size would be custom. I was thinking I's just find a drill bit the same width as the tang and just drill the hole. Any thoughts on that?
