I've been happily tinkering away in my shed on these and thoroughly enjoying the challenge and the process

Welcome to AAPK!
That is quite a first post and very nice work!
I really like the checkering on the handles.
I have been thinking of learning how to do checkering just so I could make something like that.
Seeing it come to life in the knives you did makes we want to learn all the more.

Outstanding work, I hope we see more from you! ::tu::
