My only worry would be if the blade bottomed out against the wood but you probably have that sorted.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Thanked: 0Now that I finally got my honing technique down I made sure to keep the edge clear! There's about 2mm of clearance along the entire length of the blade.

I have some worries with one piece scales. In my experience they can warp. I say can because it isn't inevitable.
I also find that they tend to not have proper tension. This is because this style of scale is usually made with parallel sides. If they are made with a slight "V" it should help.
That being said I really like the artistry of your design. They are elegant in the execution. They are a little clunky for me, but some people prefer a thicker scale.
Thank you for sharing.
