Pretty good attention to detail, overall. The first one that hasn't had the handle applied looks like it could have some more work done on the bevels. The two finished large knives I would classify as fantasy art knives but it looks like you did some pretty good work on them. The small one was my favorite but you might want to consider cleaning up the scratches on the flats and putting a satin finish on them.

Doug

They certainly look strong and I'm sure they will stab well but can they be used for anything else? Those grinds are very short - have you tested them to see how well they perform at cutting, chopping, slicing and so on? Chances are that the big knife will find more use around a camp site than killing zombies (which, I expect, it would do very well if given the chance) but that short grind could be a problem for some tasks. Take it out in the field and work it hard for about an hour and let us know how it does ...
