Definitely agree, there is something very cool about making your own blades. Something that I've never done, but can appreciate the time and dedication, or frustration plus joy that comes with it. I've made my own stick bows, and can say that it can be satisfying and frustrating at the same time. But in the end, if you make something that can do a job, then it's worth it
BGG, what's your favorite knife for the kitchen? Your cook cleaver got my attention. I have a cheap one that I bought in some Chinatown (Toronto?) many years ago that is my favorite knife for cooking. Can do dang near everything with it, with the exception of filleting and removing silver skin from chunks of game meat where I use a fillet knife.
Anyway, I'd appreciate hearing what you come to like in terms of design.
