I haven't made a knife in about 3 years now but, here are a couple rejects I didn't feel comfortable selling or giving away.  

The one on the left is my regular carry around, on the right is my utility knife I keep hanging from a hook in my garage work space.  They have both seen some pretty heavy use and abuse but keep on trucking, despite their flaws.

Thought I'd bump this thread again with a couple Bark River knives I picked up recently:

     

A Woodland Special (left) and a Mike Stewart Custom Hunter. Both are A-2 steel, with micarta scales and red liners. I'm really impressed with the quality of these knives. Looking forward to getting them bloody...

They don't hold a flame to some these incredible blades I see here but they are my favorite hunting knives. I've had them for a long time.

The larger knife on the left is the one I'm currently carrying.  I made these two around Christmas time and actually used the larger one on a late season doe I shot.

Love this thread, Keith looks like your over your limit! Wait what I'm I saying, I think every trad hunter should have a selection like that to pick from.

Thanks Andy. I did a set of 6 similar ones for a family hunting group, but the wood wasn't nearly as fancy. That really got old by the time I finished the sixth one - all the same.

two of my Doug Campbell knives that seem to be on my belt most often. I have several made by him. I also have some of Karl Anderson's creations.
 
 

Here is one I got from Karl, I also have a couple of his hunters, the very first knife he made from his own damascus, and a couple of bowies.

I made this one, works well. Heat treated 416 stainless with moose antler scales. Holds an edge and is easy to maintain.
