They look great Frank!  Have you been able to use up the elk antler I sent you?

Everyone loved the knives that you made for me!

I'd say you're not just trying. You're doing it. I really like the top one. Your's is a very attractive blend of frontier and finesse.

Those look great. I too love the top one. All the curves and lines are spot on. Great use of the file texture.

You're way past trying.  I like them all, but X3 on the top one. The antler looks great on your style of knife.

Frank,

If the knives you're" trying" to make for me look anything like any I've seen up to this point I'm sure I'll be "trying" to do all I can to show them off as much as possible. Great work as always Frank.

Great looking knives, as always, Frank! And I know from first-hand experience how well your knives handle chores in the field. Can't say enough about how nice it is to have one of them in my hand when there is a dead animal on the ground in front of me.
