Wicked cool!
I am curious about the copper band. Did you form it around the tang like a habaki or was it cut from stock like a guard. It is a really nice element.
 
Paul the copper band is made from thin copper foil that was folded in half,run through a tube wringer at an angle,then annealed and unfolded.The handle material is recessed slightly then the copper is formed,fitted,and epoxied into place,then wet rawhide lace is wrapped around in place,dyed,then epoxied also.
