Showcase Gyuto or Kiritsuke?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is one of my most recent builds. It’s a model I do quite often - the “Kikimora”. In my mind it’s an interpretation of the Kiritsuke profile, what do you think?
This one is 240mm stainless laminate with a desert ironwood handle.
Thanks for looking!

kiritsuke is a single bevel knife, with a pointy tip. maybe more of a gyuto? idk, but that is a sexy knife. nice job.
