The little one looks like a good upland bird knife.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

The last one looks kind of radical but I'm sure it would do it's job. Just doesn't look like what we are used to seeing around here.

Let me know what you think, I'm a big boy I can take it. Top one is pretty cool. I might like it better without the mirror finish. Maybe a bead blast or stonewash. Combo pack I like. Some fancier wood and I'd like it even more. Snakeskin one is very cool--- looks and pattern. I dig it. Last knife I wouldn't have much use for. All the sheaths look good to me. Snakeskin one looks better than good. Overall, very nice looking work IMO.........

Thanks for all the feed back. I appreciate your comments. FYI the snake knife is actually stabalized corn cob, the sheath is prarie rattler by Parsons. The bottom knife is kind of an EDC knife with kydex and a teck lock. I wear mine horizonzl on my waist and when you need a knife in a hurry its right there. Most of my knives are D2 treated by Paul Bos and ground on a 12" wheel.

Stabilized corn cob? No kidding. I was going to ask what it was. I really like the pattern of that one........

I like the combo pack, what does something like that run with orange G-10 or micarta?

Actually I am a little disapointed in the durability of the corn cob. I am used to anything stabalized being hard and durable. I would not recomend this knife for hard use, which i hate. My first priority in building a knive is to have a finnish product that can take some abuse in the feild.

The lines of the "corn cob" knife are very nice. That is my favorite by far.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I'd like that small knife (last pictured) with black micarta scales - to match my Ruger Vaquero's Birdshead grips.
Also with a simple black leather sheath with logo:

Slaughterville is a small comunity where I grew up and still own the family farm there. Its about 15 miles south of Norman Oklahoma. There are many tall tales of how it got its name, but the boring truth is, in the mid 1800's Jim Slaughter open the first general store in the area. And my wife thought it made a really cool brand for knives. Here is a couple more to check out.

Jantz supply is doing their own stabilization on corn cob at their shop. Once I started working down I realized it was not what I had hoped, but it looks really different, hate to tear it off. I thought if you stablized a sponge it would be hard as a rock and take a good shine, Maybe its a different process. If anyone else has any experience with this let me know.
