Instead of CPM 154 you may consider magnacut Instead. It has become one of my favorite steels and is about the only stainless I use these days. 154 is good steel too so not trying to sway your decision.
I'd say you're doing extremely well for not having been at it for very long. Really like the style of this blade you just made.
I was going to get some of each, maybe I'll go with the manga cut, I'm planning on making some fillet knives also.
