Any criticism (good and bad) is much appreciated! :D

Carbon Fiber Dao: First time working with this stuff. I've been avoiding CF for a long time just because of the nastiness of it and the cost. I had an order for it though and I've very happy I ended up doing it! It has a 4-inch cutting edge and is about 8 1/4 inches overall. This one is going to get to travel to Africa (I love knowing they get used well!) :)

"Boxcutter: Just finished this order up and I like how it turned out. The customer wanted "angular" handles so I contacted Jens to get permission before trying anything that resembled his unique "Ansoesque" texturing.

The blade is a full 1/4 thick of W-2 and it comes with a static-cord for the kydex sheath. The “lip” on the sheath helps you push the sheath away for pocket carry. Handles are removable to make refurbs easy --

Cleaver: Double-dyed buckeye burl (supplied by customer). Made of W-2 with about a 6-inch cutting edge. The pics sort of suck, but this one was a pain to capture:

extremely nice as always. Nice touch having the carbon fiber with the wrap over it. :thumbup:I like it!:D
 
Do you have any plans for making another cleaver? I don't like the buckeye burl, but the blade seems nice. Let me know if you are making another.
 
Wow! I like all three, but since you want some criticism... I know the first one is a Japanese themed knife, but I'd prefer the carbon fiber without the cord wrap. The second looks great... with sunglasses!;):D (just pickin' on the blaze orange lovers!) AND.... I absolutely LOVE the cleaver! I think the wood is fantastic, and the blade just ROCKS!
