Just a thought. That knife seems to be similiar to what a caper or a knife that can do alot of detail work. I love the sweeping curve up front. If you are going to do file work of the top spine of the knife for good gripping, shouldn't you do the same behind the cutting blade for those who might choke up on it? I really can't say or help here because I've had no need to use a knife like that, as I'm sure others have.

The Spyderco paramilitary 2 is very popular and is very grippy, with multiple hand positions available. Of coarse the spine doesn't have to raise up like this one.
They do that for the hole for opening.

This link shows that style of caping knife much better than the folder. But that may not be what you are after.

I'd lost a mini grip and someone in town on Craig's list had 3 versions of this. After studying how to id the counterfeits and looking at his 3, I bought the black one shortly before retiring. I've been very happy with it. I don't have a vest for it, but I do carry it in my off side pocket. I noticed today that by doing that, I need to move the clip so that it is in a better position to open left handed.

Nice blade shape with alot of usable cutting edge. I like the sweep and long upward curve to the point. The rise in the handle is new to me. It gives it a new, unfamiliar look, but just may hold an advantage as a working knife. I can almost see a hide coming off already. Thanks for sharing your projects.
