I like the last one best, but it's interesting to point out that the first bowie has all the horses trotting in the same direction. Ron didn't open this billet the accordeon way, instead, he cut the billet in slices and rewelded them together one by one, which is very labor intensive (not that opening an accordeon fold is easy, mind you...)

hmm lets see i'll have the Dean Diablo,The stag and damascus Hunter The Newton fighter...
