What do you think?
 
I think someone is going to enjoy a huge bowl of french onion soup May 9th.
 
Lovely job. What a good son you are. I can not tell from the pic . Is the handle round or octagon. Make sure she knows not to put it in the dishwasher!

The handle is oval at the ferule transitioning to egg shaped at the butt.

Thanks again for the kind remarks guys.

Erin,sorry for not being clear . First thing I do with a kitchen
knife to get use to it is prep out a 10 pound bag of onions. So my advice to you is get some stale bread and swiss cheese. Good work dude.
