I thought I'd share one I just finished today. This is a chef's knife commissioned by a good friend who will be giving it to his wife for Christmas. This one is based on my Plamann Santoku pattern but with the tip drawn out to a more pronounced point. Thank you for checking out my work! :biggrin:

Thanks, Laurence. I still have much to learn, so I very much appreciate your feedback.

It could really go Ether way. The San in Santoku comes from their #3 Roughly meaning three use knife. Slices dices & chops and they do have a a drop or rounded nose.

The height of the blade is where I would tend to say Nakari or Chinese chop. I have added a older picture of one of my Rhino Chop models which is a hybrid of a Nakari and Inuit Ulu.. This is my similar culinary & Camp hunter cook model that I am always refining after about 14 years and is still my biggest seller. I have since dropped the nose a bit and lessened the amount of the relief holes along the cutting edge. and they are trued up by having the blanks water jet cut.Stainless is a bear a to drill out! lol. I am at home this morning and this pic all I have on this Puter.

You have a excellent pattern to work with there and you could go far with it.
