Keith,
This one's my favorite so far, it must be in the blood. We don't exactly grow up on machete fights in Puerto Rico, but it's been known to happen...
My 2nd favorite is the #5 camp pictured because of the finish, but I like the size of the #6.
The other ones are cool too, especially with that crazy quench, but there's something I don't like about a knife that has the point on the hardened edge. It may be because it reminds me of a broken sword.

Tai calls the one in my last picture a Bush Bowie, but it reminds me more of a scimitar. I really like it though; maybe it has a lot to do with that rainbow colored quench he has been able to get.
Jose, I think that machete looks great. Really, I think most of Tai's knives look great.
Edited to make a few changes.

Here is a picture of the quench before the final finish on the scimitar-like blade.
