It looks great!
As an old geek,, I use "Picture Publisher", a WIN 3.0 software package that stopped production in 1998.. I can emulate WIN 3.0 on a dual-boot system with WIN XP & WIN 10 :]

I masked out the handle from the Yarborough, copied and overlaid it on the PS knife, then sized it down to fit. Not my best work..

What startled me and is apparent now that I tried the overlay, is that the PS is close to being a mini-Yarborough in shape. The upper tang/hilt is not as pronounced, but the contour of the lower tang/hilt is very close, as is the blade profile.
