I think that you will do just fine:thumbup: Kind of daring doing n integral ain't it?:D
 
I especially like that little integral.:thumbup:
 
My favorite is the 1084 and maple, with the greenish handle, second from the bottom. Great lines over all, and the blade and handle proportions match really well.

Nice handles - particularly the buckeye - and the single pin looks nice and clean against all the swirls.

Best of luck - doesn't look like you'll need it, though. :)
 
Can't tell much about f&f but my bet from the excellence of your design and flow of blade and handle the judges will rise in unison to give you high 5s and a standing O.

Like everyone else, the integral is my star, but I like them all, excepting a nitpick and an aversion.

My nitpick is that the guards of the hunters are a little too large (horizontal and vertical) for my eyes, which draws attention to them rather than the flow of the knife.

The aversion is that green spacer ring on the fighter, which strikes me emotionally the same way a ring around a gold plated bathtub does. The judges have probably never seen a green spacer, and oh to be a mouse in the corner during their deliberations, not that color has any objective bearing on the outcome. But what do I know, as a colorless, tasteless, novice.
