I disagree re the holes - the whole thing is awe-inspiring....I'm flabbergasted!
"Maestro" is an understatement!

Scales are almost hunting knife like. Would prefer it without the holes. Were the holes needed for balance?

Very nice.
The holes I don't really care for.
I noticed that the shank is "in proportion" to the blade. Generally I think that the shanks on the Maestros are a little too "thick" and look somewhat out of proportion.
Very nice work! How does it shave?

I like the complementing gunstock design of the scales with the size of the blade. What's the blade width -- 6/8 or 7/8? It looks pretty well balanced for use too.
The holes aren't that bad to me, but I have to wonder why use them in a premium material like crust mammoth ivory? Why not add another material to close them up, and show off the other material -- abalone, black or gold lip pearl for example.
