A few from 2014
I am putting some images out here amongst the professionals, hoping to get some feedback (positive or negative) on anything you see. I want to get better at this and keep selling....so that I can keep making.

You shouldn't have any trouble selling those. My only advice would be to use each model of knife very hard yourself to be sure they work as good as they look. You have interesting handle shapes there and you want to be certain that they offer a firm grip and no blisters under adverse conditions ...

Ray - you are exactly right. Anytime I start using a different steel or change heat treat method. I pull one blade out for torture testing. So far I have had good luck. I am fortunate to have a mentor with 40+ years of experience to help me learn the right and wrongs early on.
Ricky - I love wood working just as much as knife making, but I have to pick one or the other. I had a friend build the case for me from wood of a barn that had fallen down on my grandpa's farm. The part the knife is inset in is Maple. It has a glass cover that slides in. It was removed for the pictures. He also made the legs to where they could fold in. He did an amazing job.
