I think it was Josh Dabney's Servicemember WIP that showed a tang very skeletonized, to the point of not having solid material around each of the pins or lanyard hole.
I have 5 blades profiled and before I drill any holes, I am wondering if I should leave the pin locations intact so that there is a full mechanical bond between scales, pins and tang. The upside to NOT leaving this material in place is that I can further lighten the handle and still use pins to connect scale to scale.
Thoughts? Feelings? Impressions? Dirty Looks? Anything?
Thanks in advance...

Cleaned up the 2 smaller ones and started thinking with a sharpie...
