Great lineup, Mr Lyle, I like the one on the far right the best. Even though it seems to exhibit the most blade loss, the bone looks awesome....imo.

Thanks for the nice comments, fellas.

I was pleasantly surprised when this knife arrived because I was expecting something a bit different based on the seller’s pics.
