Curly Koa 8" chef {Video}

[BenR.T.]

Here is another kitchen knife I just finished up. This one has a curly Koa handle, tapered tang, and a clay quenched blade.
The OAL is 12 7/8" with an 8" blade. This one will be going with me to OKCA winter show in a month.
Any and all comments welcome!
Thanks for looking.

Ben, have you ever thought of rounding the spine? One of the first things I do when getting a new knife(if not already done) is to round the spine and choil. I use a pinch grip, and thought, although maybe wrong, that most people used a pinch grip. Roundng the spine makes the comfort factor 100% better.
