hello everybody

Im kind of perplexed by your grinds. Is that a shallow main bevel with some kind of extended secondary? Maybe the light playing tricks? Iv never seen anything like that before I dont think.
 
Nicely shaped hunters. I had the same questions about the grind. Looks like a sabre grind of some sort. Can you explain the bevel and edge grinding?
 
I agree about the grinds. I may be wrong but by the looks of the secondary bevels it appears that the primary bevels were left extremely thick. What was the edge thickness before sharpening? Also, what is the steel type and how were they heat treated?
 
That will work well as a general use knife, but will do fine cutting a bit better with a slightly thinner main bevel behind the edge. With that much meat behind the edge there will be some wedging in cutting.

I would have taken the sabre to nearly FFG ( edge around .005") and then added the convex secondary at 12-15 degrees per side. The will cut well and not have any wedging.
 
Nice and functional looking sheaths too.

I'm not a huge fan of the handle materials though. I personally like the look of more natural woods ane wood burl especially.

Keep on grinding!
