Here's some from me,most of you have seen already. Most of mine are the same design of my own making, which are EDC size with some camp size and style knives. I try to come up with different stuff sometimes but not often.

Very nice! On that second one I like the finger groove in the handle. If I remember the terminology correctly, is that a choil?
Or. would that be blade only? I understand the little notch at the blade's base is for allowing a fully sharpened edge.

I really like that first blade in your last set.
The one with the taped blade is sweet too!

To all interested in this thread, as i mentioned in the bench thread, my favorites are the competition choppers.

The choil is the spot behind the sharpened edge, I just call the other in the handle a finger groove.

That is another camp bushcraft knife I do,and probably the biggest out of the ones I make.

I could swear I've seen your maker's mark elsewhere.

Possibly, I've had to stop using the arrowhead around it temporarily, another maker has accused me of getting to close to his makers mark to sell more knives. Claims hes used it longer than I have, but I have sent in pictures with time stamps to prove I've been used that for close to 12 years to his supposed 7 years. Just waiting for the go ahead to resume from the Alabama knife makers guild.

Could have possibly been his I seen, but I'm almost certain it was yours. I started reading and looking online for almost 20 yrs.

A guy on BCUSA conducted a rust test with various steels. I think for 38 or 39 days. Here is the end result.
Pretty eye opening.
