How's it going folks?

Awhile back, I was looking for a thin BTE slicer Busse, and after handling a few options, I think I have settled on the Scrapmax line in Elmax.

Now I have to make the handle a little more edc friendly on my 340. Due to this, I was curious if anyone had a tang pic from one of the Scrapmax lineup?

I am likely going to be sanding down the stock to see how it thins out. Dependant upon how it feels, my alternative would be to box frame the tang in micarta and make some wood slabs for the sides. Basically making it a stick tang Grex...

If you can source a pic, please help me out. My Google-fu wasn't turning anything up other than dead photo bucket tags...

Thanks in advance.
 
According to the Scrap Yard page, the Res-C handle pattern used on the Scrapmax is called the "War Dog". I do not know if this is due to that knife being the first to showcase the handle shape, or...

I was thinking that the tang would be blade width, and extend around the lanyard tube. As far as tang height goes, I was thinking maybe 1/8" around the lanyard tube?

Due to the thinness of the blade stock, I shouldn't have any issues bringing the underside of the grip a little thinner, to taper it from spine to edge side slightly. I am trying to lower the blocky feeling in hand...

Any insight would be appreciated.
