I actually like the design more in the first pic before you grind the nose down.

They do look awesome! Both are very cool! But there’s something about the shape in the top pic that really turned my head.

i may complete one like that. the knife in second picture the spine tapers from 0.06" to 0.02" at tip.

With a spine at 60 it can’t help but be sharp!

this knife is a small slicer or a EDK every day kitchen knife, the one you use the most. I don't rock chop that much, i use a pull/push stroke. i cook for 2 people most of the time and a 4-5 inch blade is all i need. the handle angle and blade height lets me do cuts over a cutting board without bumping knuckles.
