I like it, I have some old carbon steel knives that I've had so long and sharpened so many times, they look like fillet knives now.

That looks like it may make a good gutting knife. Maybe the false edge just a touch steeper. If you get the false edge at just the right angle it makes gutting a breeze and you don't have to worry about the tip digging in and puncturing the guts. Only one way to know for sure, try it out a few times.
