Good day everyone. 

 

I recently made the below K-Tip Gyuto for a knife build challenge for one of the local knife shows hosted in Johannesburg. The knife is made from 1085 with a clay-packed Hamon finished up to 600grit and a chisel grind. The Wa handle is constructed from Dyed and stabilized maple burl a red g10 spacer and wild olive.

The blade length is 10" and the handle is 5.3"

 

Please let me have your thought on how and where I can improve my design and the finishing on the knife.

I really like that one. Nice work right there.
