It's been ten years since I made a knife, so I finally decided to make one for my brother. D2, 3/16", T. Tang, stabilized mequite, 60Rc. I really need alot more practice.

If you "need a lot more practice", then I need WHOLE LOT  :) .  Great looking knife.

The configuration is interesting to me. I take it that you slotted the guard and slid it up onto the tang and right against the back of the blade ricasso.

This is a very good option for a handle, guard, and blade transition.
