As the shape was cut,redesigned and cut, redesigned many times, it felt comfortable now .

The spot at the end of the edge appeared when I used it to cut J.Neilson edge.

looks good, I like your work. Please show the sheath when finished. Thanks for showing us your knives.
 
It looks really good to me. I'd just go with a simple kydex sheath on that, perhaps even one that locks into the first hole in the grip.
 
Oh I like that a lot. Plans to export/sell them? Price converted to USD?

Design wise, it reminds me a lot of Crawford's neck knives.
 
Great design. A version with handle scales would also be pretty awesome.
 
I think you are filling a good niche in the knife world affordable EDC worthy fixed blades are really in demand IMO.
 
Thank you friends.

It feels comfortable without scales.but Scales are in my progress
and yes I will export them. the price with sheath will under 50$(shipping cost extra).

sign me up! good work, buddy.
 
Great looking, make a nice simple kydex with a Tek Lok and it will be way worth it. Thanks for sharing that, and i'm glad you have plans to export.
 
They look nice... but isn't that the same steel Gerber uses in their "mystery surgical steel" knives?

I believe he meant 7cr17, which is the Chinese equivalent of 440A or AUS6. I do believe Gerber uses it. It is a perfectly good, serviceable steel. To be honest, I actually like it better than AUS6 (easier to sharpen, and seems to hold an edge better), and on par with 440A as used done better companies. Like almost every other steel, it all comes down to heat treat and grind. Nice looking knives, by the way.
