Thumbs up

Nice knives.

I particularly like the new version of the older design. Looks like a nice handy size for most uses without being too large. (Yes, I love compact knives with 3 1/2" - 4" blades. )

Very nice,
I've tried to make them from planer blades in the past, but nothing as nice as those.
