My opinion only but if the guard is much finer at the bottom and the whole handle tapers a bit from about an inch back from the ricasso it is more user friendly for more types of use.

It is the large radius of the end of the finger guard. I have found that a handle that tapers a little toward the ricasso makes for a more comfortable hold and a slightly finer end to the guard takes a hot spot away from the finger

No offence intended but my first impression was that it looks a bit blocky at the front of the handle/bolster transition to the ricasso

That will make a dandy little EDC for your wife. I do like the low profile finger guard of the bolster. I often see the end of the guard stick down way to far and it bcomes a magnet for getting caught on things. That knife will just plain work and look good doing it.

It is very similar to my paring knife and I know how well that works so yours should meet expectatiins as well.
