Here are a few that should be going out to the new owners soon

1095 with 7 1/2" blade and a great hamon.

and 1095 ring knife with a hamon also, although he wanted a different kind of sheath, so I am going to use this one on a knife I have that fits it like a glove, and make him a different one.

Nice ones, Matt. Especially love the hamon on the top knife, swweeeeeettt! It's sheath looks very nice as well.
 
Nice work , you will be learning for a long time. An item that looks so simple can be so complicated !
 
Thanks everyone.
polojeff, the ring serves a couple functions. First, it makes it really easy to draw the knife. I tend to make deep sheaths, and sometimes it is difficult to get a grasp on the bit of the handle that is sticking out of the sheath. With the ring, you just loop your little finger around it and give a tug. Secondly, if you are doing some detailed work (skinning a squirrel for instance) you can put your little finger in the ring, and allow the knife to drop away if you need to use both hands for something, then flip your wrist a bit and the knife is right back where it needs to be.
