4 ready for HT

[night man]

These are my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th knives that ive made. They are ready for HT any recommendations?

From right to left. A neck knife I made out of a peice of a file I had left over 4" total length.

The next one is a drop point hunter style for my dad it will get desert Ironwood handles and a leather sheath. My first attempt at filework on the spine.

The third one is a small hunter/skinner for a silent auction at a church, it will get leather handles with copper rivits and a leather sheath.

Then the last one is a custom design by me for me. 4" blade and about 8" overall. Its more of a utility/camp knife than anything, it will probably get a kydex sheath. I think I may start making some like this for the guys in my unit if they like it. All are about 3/16 at spine except for the necker and its about 1/8. The bottom three are from O1 steel.

Thanks to all on this site for the wealth of information that has helped me along.

I think those are great! I would be proud of them. The only thing that sticks out to me is the thumb grip on that file necker looks a bit aggressive for comfort.
Well done.

Yes, it is to aggresive for that knife. I will probably put it in a small survival can or something or give it to a buddy of mine. I love making these things and I learn something new every time I make one.

Nice work! Especially for your 2-5th knives! I have a sister in Ada, still haven't been out there to visit; saw her a couple times when she was in Norman and was really surprised at how much I liked it out there. OK is alright by me!
