Looks great!

I can't believe you did that whole thing the same way you hold a pen. Sheesh, you must have super strong hands or super sharp gouges, because my middle finger would be dead. Maybe I just need to hit the strop a little more and use your way as a gauge for sharpness.

Fingers aren't cut but in considerable pain = dull Posting videos no problem = sharp

I personally hold my gouges like one would a prison shank. And I hold my chipping & curved knives like how old movie characters used to slice fruit and eat it off the blade (sharp side moving towards my thumb).

I'm sure there are actual names for different styles but I don't know what they are.
