I really like these a lot. The pins seem a little low on the handle to me. The purple heart is awesome.
 
I think the pins look low because of the angle and I think the fruit looks pretty ripe. Good work. I will have to do a tomahawk type head one day here
 
Beautiful work. I love the lines of your knives and your vision as an artist. Very nice. I have bookmarked your site for inspiration in my own knife making.
 
That is great work! Historical style cutlery is my favorite form. If only I could get my attempts to even slightly resemble your quality. You have a great nack.
 
Very nice! I also like the historic look and the way they compliment each other! MD
 
Some awesome looking blades. Love trade-era cutlery. I book marked your site for future(hopefully) purchases.
