Small AEB-L set @ 61 with Koa hybrid scales. Opinions on the edge of the Santoku......less belly a bit flatter in the future?

Finish looks great. Handle too. The shape bothers me, however. I don’t like the curve at the base. I like the large flat section but the last third, towards the tip, seems off. Look at the shape of some well regarded knives, shigs, Tanaka’s, katos etc.
These look great! Edge profile is a personal preference, I think these look pretty good. It may be that last pic with the angle and the light is why the last third towards the tip looks off to GM?
I had a custom santoku that was flat for like 1/2 to 2/3 length from the heel and very little rise for the tip. I thought it might be cool, but it was actually horrible in use LOL.
Duke, got it. Really the craftsmanship is great. I love the handle- did u use a died expoxy to make the composite? The finish is also really nice; you obviously have a lot of skill and put in a lot of work on these, it shows.. how do they cut? Look forward to seeing more of your work. Thank you for sharing.
Jay,
Makers used to do paasarounds here with forum members. I remember some pretty interesting threads.... So you might want to start a new thread for one. If I remember correctly, Randy Hass of HHH is also in MI, not far from Detroit. He is a super talented maker and great guy. Might want to contact him. His son, Randy jr makes awesome Damascus as well. Honestly I don’t use the knives I have often enough, so my input would be marginal. Keep posting your work here, it’s a great way to get feedback and introduce yourself to members. I would target some of the supermotivated home users and pros on this site. A lot of basic info on what people like is available just by perusing posts. I also like the knife makers section on blade forums, a lot of super knowledgeable makers there too. Enjoy!
