Had a pretty full week getting orders finished for the holidays. The top two get delivered tommorrow, the rest for Xmas. Got a little touch up work to do but they are pretty much finished. Chuck your gonna have a busy time making sheaths. They are all hunters in 1084 steel, 5 inch blades and 9 inches long, hand sanded to 600 grit. Let me know what you think, thanks.

Knice knives,Joe:thumbup:-I love the shapes-what is the handle material on the bottom one?
 
Second one down is my favorite to look at, too. But all around excellent work! Some of ythe handle variants really stand out
 
They are all real nice, the designs on all seem to have a nice flow to them, great job!!! I would also like to know what the handle material is on the bottom one. Thanks, 47
 
Thanks for the compliments guys. I've been experimenting with these designs for a while and finally got them to look good and be very useable. I'm gonna put them in my regular line and go with either 154CM or ATS34. The handle on the bottom is a polyester pearl from masecraft supply, it is the same stuff that buttons are made of. It looks good and really works easily. The other handles are; brown micarta, pakkawood, black micarta, desert ironwood, buffalo horn, and birdseye maple.
 
Interesting variations of designs. The bottom one has appeal to my eyes, the lines and half guards I do like.
 
I have been trying to design a knife to hopefully be custom made for me early next year. On the third knife down near the bottom part of the blade close to the handle with the little hook look to it, could you fashion that in a shape similar to the can opener on a Leatherman?
 
Several of those blades have a Schrade "Sharpfinger" look. I think that is a good thing. I believe it was Mr Lille that called it one of the great designs.
I really like the thumb notches and "protective shape" of the blades.
