Nice work! I've made my living making knives for the past 25 years or so. Always enjoy seeing pics of nice knives. Very nice job.

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 think you'd be extremely happy with the magnacut.

bummer, I wasn't on the 'fire yesterday. I hope the new owner enjoys it.

If you clean the rust off the scale you might get it down to 375.0
Very nice though.
On your next version I might move the drill bit that you used at the bas of the blade out just a smidge so that the base of the blade is at 90 degrees or less.
A true blade smith could talk about the structural reasons. Aesthetically I think that it would look better.
On the bright side it will continue to improve with every sharpening!
I do like it though.
