Yes. From the practical side of things they are going to be good users. I am hungry to make higher quality 'fancy' knives though. My fit and finish isn't as perfect as I would like and these are still fairly plain working knives. My ambition is to take it up a few notches further yet. I will keep practising and will share the end results with you all. I am working on some big choppers at the moment and will post them when they are done. Thanks for the positive response. I was feeling a nervous after seeing some of my heroes here but you've spurred me on. Thanks.
