I started this for myself. I have very small hands, so it fit well enough for my fingers.

But its probably going to end up going to somebody with substantially larger hands than mine own.
The blade is close to 10/8 I was shooting for a grind similar to the big FBU wedge razors. Since I don't have one to compare to, I based it off of photos. In case you were wondering, it has been ground using an old school 10" grinding wheel rotating at about 250rpm. I think it is closer to a Sheffield hollow than it is to wedge.
Anyways... I would like some input from you big burly men with your big ham hands. Would you find a narrow tang like this to be a problem for handling a razor of this size?
And for those who have built razors before, if I were to put scales on this as is, would the torsional force placed on the pivot be a problem?
Of course, I could possibly create a solid handle instead of folding scales. Would love to hear from you guys who make one piece razors on the subject too.
