Hidden tang 2.0

My second attempt at a hidden tang. To my eye something is not matching up with the proportions somewhere. The pin is low in the handle, to my eye, but I think I can fix that on the next one. How does everyone go about designing hidden tang blades so things “match up”? With full tang knives the tang IS the handle shape, or is that just what I’m used to?
