First, I appears you have the chisel grind set up for a Lefty. I know Emerson a few others put the grind on the viewing side for Curb appeal but the knife will tend to roll over in a right hand. You want the flat on the inside near the body.
Do some testing and you will see for yourself.
The look great but preform like crap compared to one made properly for the users Dominate hand.
On the Pins, I suggest Loveless style, they are the strongest of the Mechanical fasteners with Corbys in second place. A good epoxy is to seal out moisture.
You can do what you like with your Choils & thumb ramps, I always have.
If you want to build for the Wiz-Bang Tactical market, If it fits? Do it!
You are doing well, :thumbup:Now test this one and built another.
