What do you guys think of these profiles?

I was working on some handle ideas for numbers 3 and 4 that are almost ready for heat treat. What do you guys think about these?

I'm probably going to go with shadow pattern brown canvas micarta over black g10 liners and nickel silver pins for the clip and brass liners and possibly brass pins with shadow pattern red linen micarta for the sheepsfoot. Or, I might go for a black g10 liners and jade g10 covers on a shadow pattern.

Charlow is there for size comparisons.

I like the bottom one, looks like a 3-1/2" Bullet pattern trapper. One of my favorite patterns.

As for the first knife, personally, I would reduce a bit the "sway" towards the end of the handle on the first knife, and at the same time lower the sheepsfoot a little bit. Not a fan of brass, and to my eye a silver colored liner (nickel silver, steel, etc) suits better a red linen micarta handle. Same for pins.

Myself I would do blade nr 2 in handle nr 1. And try to get the blade straight with the handle when open and not arching down.

I like the one in the middle the best.

The lower drawing would be a nice lockback pattern. :thumbup:
