Nice work Chris, and your sheaths are looking very good also.
 
mmm always look forward to new pics of your work b/c your designs and execution are so graceful!!
 
Thanks guys!
they were alot of fun to make. Especially getting to design and exocute them myself it was gratifying to see them turn out. Personally i like the fighter best. however it hink iw ould use the hunter more. any critiques?

also.. is $450-500 a fair price for them? i always second guess myself.

I really dig that fighter a whole bunch. The hunter has a good deal more blade than I would want or need in an actual hunting knife application (4-4 1/2" is my personal preference), but I think it looks great and would certainly make for a nice camp / utility piece.
