I love the etchings on those blades and the handles are excellent.

Welcome to knife dogs.
Very user friendly and handsome looking free flow convexed knives you have here.

I particularly like your Brisket slicer as a culinary knife maker and the handles on all look very comfortable and good looking.

Here's one of my fillets. It has a S35VN blade heat treated to 59RC by Paul Bos Heat Treating with Tiger Shark Teeth etched in. The handle is Blue Stabilized wood. The guard is hand carved and textured.

The buttcap features an octopus hand carved.
