Looks good. 
I like the look of recurves but on a practical side they're not something I've ever got on too well with. How do you find sharpening it?

Nice blade!
I have a kershaw green bump assisted that has the recurve toward the handle.. and it took about a week to figure out to sharpen the thing on a stone... It is a flat grind, so the secind bevel is probably more suited for sharpening with ceramic rods. Nevertheless, It can be done on a stone, but you'll have to do some profile rounding on the edge of the stone to get good consistent contact.
Oh yeah, also because of the way the recurve works, it is almost the exact opposite of sharpening a regular drop point. rather than lifting at the end of the stroke, you have to lift first and then level out! .... That'll make use of both halves of the brain!
