@nephron,
I'm curious about the tang/ricasso juncture in your last photo. If you are planning to re-handle it would you also take the time to radius those shoulders so it's not a perfect 90 degree angle? I have seen the reports about older models snapping where the tang meets the blade partially due to that 90 degree juncture. Do you think grinding a radius would alleviate that risk?
