Father's Day gyuto

First completed kitchen knife. Got fed up with cracking 1095, so I got some of Aldo's 1084. 1/8", 8" edge, chisel ground. Handle is 1-1/4" dowel with a walnut bolster.

Took a couple tries burning in the tang without going through the side.
There are some small angles I'd want to change next time for aesthetics, but overall I'm pretty pleased with the edge geometry. I'm hoping it'll be slicing brisket for a long time.

I think it'll work okay, my dad's happy with it. I'd like to hear any thoughts or advice as well.

James, that is a nice knife. I really like the faceted sides on a round handle.

Thank you, it evolved from wanting a Don Nguyen-esque style handle.
