Some just finished

Seems to be the way come winter the last few years I have a potter around in the shed when things turn to crap weather wise, and I don't get out as much as I like so I put a few hours in at Tylers grinder and using the gear that seems to have taken my shed over.
I wanted a couple of knives that suited what I use a knife most for living in Central Victoria, gutting a rabbit, scalping a fox ($10 hair cut in Victoria), cleaning the odd duck, cleaning a few trout for the smoker and eating the occasional apple. The below is a shape that I think ticks the boxes for what I was looking for, made from ATS34, green and brown canvas micarta, maroon linen micarta and blue/black G10 was used for the handles, the couple with bolsters were done with 416, the sheaths have no belt loops as I'm not one to carry a knife on my belt, as they will be carrid in packs bags etc, the knives cam lock into the sheaths and have the Puma style loop to ensure they have no chance of floating free in a pack. So now one into the glove box, one in the fly fishing vest, one in the bowhunting gear and one into the gun hunting gear.
Some pretty ordinary pictures off the phone but you'll get the idea.
Cheers
