Finally getting around to posting up here. Been MIA for a bit. Thanks to everyone who helped me out. Aldo, Horton, James you guys all rock.

s30v .250, 8.5" overall with brown canvas, chisel ground.

Thanks guys. Some pics of the other one I finished. I am taking a break for a month to wait for my new grinder to be built. Then I can really get to work!

You are showing skill and have the determination, but why the peculiar design? Is it purpose driven?
 
They are both chisel ground yes. Thanks for the feedback everyone. I came up with the design from wanting a "slim" profiled knife. This lends itself to that, has a nice straight blade, like a straight razor sort of and is lighter but maintains its thickness for some prying strength. If one were so inclined to what to do that.
 
How is the knife intended to be used? I am trying to figure out why the blade would be offset from the handle in that way. The grind is a bit different as well. Does it have a tertiary grind? Or is your primary bevel just very high? I've not seen anything quite like it before.
 
As stated earlier, very unusual design. Can we see an in hand photo to see how you would hold it with that blade dropping like that on the spine? Thanks for sharing.

It is 10 degrees all the way up. Then I decided to do a 20 degree secondary for the edge.
