well, that is a great start. the first knife, especially. I like the both, but the first one is the one that does it for me. You seem to have talent (something I don't have). With a lot of work, you will be very, very, good at this.
Just keep posting, and listen to what these folks suggest. For me, seeing pictures of my work lets me see things that I don't notice when it is in my hands.

nice to meet you, so to speak.
