Three new ones for me

These three are quite special for me for the people they remind me of.
The boner with 4 3/4 in 15N20 blade has scales from a walnut tree I felled on my late fathers yard in the early 80's.

The light hunter with 3 5/8 N690 blade has buffalo horn bolsters from a friend in South Africa and end grain olivewood given to me by a retiring knifemaker friend.

The field scalpel with 2 3/4 N690 blade has buffalo horn scales from a few horn tip given to me by a friend in the US.

 
love all three! the 1st and 3rd would make outstanding kitchen knives, too. The middle one is my cup of tea for a good outdoors knife.
 
I dont usually make one at a time but when I do there is a about 10 hrs (give or take) in them. Generally I will have a number of blades to do at the same time so that seems to help with time reduction just a little but I think that may be more because I am focused on getting the batch done rather than meandring my way through a single knife.
