[David Loukides]

This knife is up to be reviewed by the man who ordered it.
I would like to tell you something I said to Wendy and her response first.

13.5" Overall length.

Thank you for the Good Words.
I had some fun on this one so and put a 1500+ Grit finish on the blade.
I figure that Practice makes Perfect.

Very nice work!

I like it very much as is.

One possible constructive point:

I am making some knives to test different designs. The last chef's knife (although shorter than this one) had essentially no ricasso, and the feedback I got was that particular user preferred a longer distance between the handle and the start of the sharp edge.

I hope that's not an issue in a longer knife.
