Santoku Kitchen work horse

Recently I finished this up and gave it to my wife. It was immediately her favorite kitchen knife. She unwittingly helped decide the handle materials one day when she noted that the maroon linen Micarta matched the purple burl eyes in her favorite Camphor wood. I finally am getting around to taking pictures again after getting a bunch of knives finished up. This kitchen work horse is 11-1/4” overall.

Blade is 3/32’ thick with 6-3/4” edge, flat ground top to bottom from CPM S30V with rounded and polished back edge, Paul Bos heat treat to 59+/- HRC

Handle is Camphor burl (exotic hardwood) and has linen Micarta bolsters, white liners and mosaic pins.

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think!!
Updated with some slightly better pics.
