My brother already posted these, but now I have them in my possession. The bottom one was what started the addiction for me. It just showed up in my mailbox, a gift from my brother. After my wife told me to have Ray make me another one for my birthday (and I always try to make her happy) I also had him make one for my son. My son wanted a good size blade with micarta scales and a black blade - the top one suited him perfectly. I had Ray make a tweaked version of his HWK for me - the middle one - with ironwood scales my brother donated to the cause, or as we could say, provided me with a fix to feed the habit.
They are very nice - top notch fit and finish. Mine fits my hand very nicely. I expect it to get lots of use, if I can get the scouts out soon. I also like the "worn" blade of my son's more than I expected I would. I normally do not like black blades, but this one works.
I can't say enough about Ray's work. It is superb. He has a real eye for knife design (an artist), and meticulous attention to detail.

I'm going to post a thank you thread for all you guys but I still don't know what to say. I'm pretty bad with words but I'll do my best.
