Thanks for the nice words guys!
I'll take a close look at the guards in the next ones I make.
Also thought you guys should know #1 and #3 feel the best in hand and have the best balance

i really like #1 what kind of wood is that?

Send #4 or #5 to my house and I'll give them a test drive for about 30yrs and then I'll tell you for sure if I like them!!!

The lines of 4 and 5 are real nice   :thumbsup:  and they come close to *my* ideal blade length and shape.  All of 'em would look great on my belt  :)
I'm really liking the damascus you've been forging!!
