The “Can’t leave anything alone” Thread

I just picked up a Kizer sheepdog xl and I'm already making some changes. This is my second attempt at modding knives.
I have the basic shape of the handle and blade done. Before I start on the finishing work any critiques? Also should I do a thumb hole, blood groove or stud? I'm leaning towards the thumbhole as of now.

Thumb hole for sure

Dave,

There is a guy under the name Hilltop Knives who does and has done this kind of work. He has a Youtube channel with the same name displaying his mods. Some really nice looking Yojumbo mods as well.

Thanks, Ive seen photos of his knives but didn't know he had a youtube. He does really nice work. He as well as several other blade modders/choppers out there inspired me to make my own modifications.
This literally the 2nd knife I've ever worked on and I have a ton to learn. Feel free to critique if you have time.
 
Didn't care much for the original scales color...
