First Kitchen Knife

[Fross]

Just finished it, I wanted to make something that I could drag to the hunt club with me and let it pull double duty and get thrown around, hence the rustic look. Specs are, 3/16" 1080 steel with a vinegar and mustard etch with a tapered tang. Red and black micarta with a rough finish, I tried something different by putting some divots in the handle and filling them with CA then tapering the handle and putting the rough finish on it... I was going for a fading dot look... Looks weird but I like it.

Looks nice frossbyte. Interesting design with the etch.

Im very interested in kitchen knives, much more than fancier hunting/fighting knives. So, I've been looking at a lot of them lately. It seems most use a much thinner steel to start with. How thick is the blade, it looks like you ground it much thinner than 3/16". Also, could you please explain the edge point next to the handle.
