With CPM S35VN and Elmax, I don't want to file in the radius by hand! I have diamond needle files, but that would take a long time!

You use the needle files to file space in the radiused guard or handle material
 
here are some quick picks of one I'm working on at the moment:
I use a small triangular file in the red circels

That little stub Tang is 1095. And yes Natlek , a little bit of taper is better for working on the guard as well as any spacers. I like to taper the Tang a little side to side also!

I think more people don't do this because it's not so easy to be in front of a camera, record what you want, put it into an editing software type program, edit it, then upload it to YT. I've been doing this kind of thing for about 10 years and helped others bring their projects to YT as well. Takes a lot of time and effort initially. Some people just don't have the time, know how or motivation to do it. Took me about 3 hours to record the 6 minute spot, and then do the work to get it onto YT.
