I have been a chef for about 10 years now and am making a first attempt at creating my own chef knife. I have zero experience in metallurgy but lots of experience with both sharpening and fixing damaged chef knives. I plan on making a 8inch blade from a 12 inch stock of 1/8th by 2inch 1084 carbon steel. likely with a hidden tang 2/3 or 3/4 length of handle. Any thoughts on knife geometry and shape and wither the hidden tang will be long enough to balance the knife.

thanks for your input.

Bottom one looks good. Only thing that catches my eye is that the tang seems to be angled downward. It should be parallel with the main edge at a minimum, or even raised slightly to be aligned with the spine on that style knife.
