That is a nice looking knife, but I think to make the most of a wharncliffe blade you need to lower the angle of the blade so it is more inline with the handle. If I am using a wharncliffe style blade I generally am cutting leather on a table or things like that where you are using the point and drawing the knife back towards you (think of cutting carpet or cardboard with a boxcutter). With the swept back blade on your current design I think you would have to hold your hand at an awkward angle to use the tip of the knife, but I am basing that on a photo and not actually holding it.
