I'm diggin' that amboyna one.
Looks like you could work with that all day long and not get tired!
Sweetness.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

They look great!! I wouldn't change anything except maybe their current place of residence. I think they would look good right here in MI on my belt.
