Good to identify core, and agree with the core overall (probably), with Qin's Sais being the potential outlier (don't know if it's always the best item in every situation).
In your late-game items list, I don't think I agree with Frostbound Hammer...you're already getting Hastened Katana, and that should typically be more than enough to stick. Frostalis isn't needed.
Also listed in late-game is Ichaival. If you get that, it shouldn't be late. I would suggest it early, perhaps immediately after Tabi, if you find you're boxing the enemy physical jungler a lot or something and want a quick advantage. But late-game, I'd skip, since it's a bridge item. Maybe you don't really mean it as late, but you didn't have another easy category in which to place it.
Your favorite build looks fine. I'd wonder a bit about getting Hastened Katana before Ninja Tabi...seems a lot of pros are building Katana first, and it makes sense for early aggression.
Another option would be to skip Tabi, get Golden Blade 2nd for your main jungle clear, and maybe Stone Cutting Sword 3rd...between Golden and Hastened, you'll have pretty nice early AS, and SCS's flat protection reduction against squishy gods will be more effective than The Executioner's % protection reduction...so you could switch those items around.
Another protection option might be Hide of the Urchin for high universal survival. And Bloodforge is another optional offensive item, I think.
