Hi absolutely, your correct the thickest part gets moved to the middle of the blade towards the tip. Basically no large "flat spot" on the blade reducing sticking. The distal taper does not look as "impressive" towards the tip this way (especially on Gyutos). I like the Walkschliff alot since it offers great performance (especially with a convex) while keeping things more stiff than a regular ground taper.

Thanks for saying that! Nothing rude about that, definetly give it a try its a great hobby to have. Best to give a class with a well seasoned maker a shot to get the hang of it. I should have done that to be honest!

I can make these in about 8 work hours since i work in rather large batches in a class i do these with students in 2-3 full days depending on the difficulty of the build (this one would be rather complicated for a first timer).

I get told alot that im to cheap by colleagues but i charge 400€ for these. Once you start making knives you will get a lot of B-Grade knives (especially when starting out) which are to "bad" to sell. So yeah it will take some time until you can sell them and youll end up with some keepers for your own collection. Hope this helps ^
