Here are a couple of prototypes of knives tha I am thinking about doing for a mid-tech/semi-production line. Both are CPM 3V with black canvas Micarta handles. The fighter has a modified San Francisco style 6 inch blade of .207 stock and the bushie/hunter a 4.1 inch drop point]blade of .172 stock. I have also done a bigger hunter with a 4.7 inch blade of the .207 stock and ironwood scales and I have a smaller 3.5 inch model in .140 stock on the bench . What do you guys think? BTW. These two and the 4.6 incher are for sale in the knifemakers for sale section.

aesthetically pleasing to my eye: clean lines, nice contours on the handles, nice even finish -- good job!
 
Blade shape is great, and looks sexy. Something about the handles looks off to me. I can't pinpoint exactly what, but the look comfortable, just a little weird.

They have a concave section on the back part.
