3 diffrent knives from the same template

Here's my next 3 knives ground ready for Pin holes and pre HT hand sanding to fix a couple small wobbles in the grind lines. I wanted to try to make 3 knives from the same template but do each one a bit different from the next.

All are 10" OAL with 5" Blades
Top one is an almost full height hollow grind from 1/8" 440c
Middle one is about a 2/3 height hollow grind from 1/8" 440c added a swedge to this one.
Bottom one is also a 2/3 height hollow grind this one is from 3/16" 440c this one also has a swedge but gave this one a subtle recurve.

I want to try bolsters for the frist time on one of them, most likely the first one. I have some 1" x 3/4" nickle silver bar stock with pins of the same
comments or critiques welcomed and encouraged.

Nice. As for bolsters, everyone should try them at least once. Prepare to suffer

hi man, wonderful knives.
I'm a new knife maker, and I wonder if you can send me the template for that knife.
I really love that style of knife, but I have no idea what size to do that and every time I'm trying to draw that style it looks like sh**.

Did you mean you want to make a guard with the 1" x 3/4" material? If you meant bolsters you might want to use either 1/4" thickness or better yet 3/16". On 1/8" stock really thick bolsters look out of proportion. My 2 cents
