The knives look great. Your grinds are attractive.
I haven't experienced a convex grind yet. On paper, they seem hard to beat.
 
You make beautiful knives. Functionally I prefer a flat grind and I also think it showcases more skill in grinding a perfectly flat bevel.
 
Beautiful! Just absolutely beautiful!

Those have to be cutting wonders! I love convex blades and those look to be some very nice grinds.

I'd just about trade you a neighbor kid for a 4 1/2" Bushcrafter in 1095.
 
I really like the way that black micarta finished out. It's not too glossy- more a leather sheen. Very good work.
