Nalis, they all look pretty darn good! I like the middle one best, mainly because that is a purty piece of wood. Nice blade profiles, and I like the integral guard. What is the blade length and over-all length?

The wood on the middle one is prettier, but I think the bottom one would just mold into my hand. It looks really comfortable.

I like them all. Your work looks good from here.
Can you tell us what the rockwell is on these puppies?

Hey guys...thanks for the kudo's! OAL on all 3 are about 8" ,give or take 1/16 to an 1/8. Blade 4" , handle 4". As for the RC hardness...?????. I heat treated them my self instead of sending them out. I would like to know but the testers are not in the budget at the moment. Again thanks for looking and the feedback.

Great start!

The front pin may be a little too close to the edge on the first one.

The second knife looks the best, imho, in terms of design and balance.
