Favorite spine file patters?

[Hawk45]

Have a bowie I'm working on and wanted to add some filework to the spine.. what are some of your favorite filework patterns?

Here is one I just finished with a borrowed barbed wire pattern. I will likely keep this one and call it a birthday present.

The top one in this image is my current favorite... just requires 2 files and very careful spacing.

I do an uneven thorn pattern that looks like dragon's breath (my wife's name for it.) Its my favorite.

Here is an old example of it, the more recent stuff looks a lot better. It is done with three sizes of round files, rather than round and tri square.

Here's one that I did a few months back. Very simple to do and I was pleased with the result.
