Knives I made for Christmas presents

Update: shot two does tonight and used one of the AEB-L neck knives to skin/quarter and a partial de-bone. Made sure to not avoid skimming the edge along bones (which dulls faster than mean obviously). I let it drag on the ribs and spine as I cut out the backstraps as well as removing the hams. Used edge to pop the ball joint, etc. the stuff that dulls got done with no regard to maintaining the edge. Cleaned up the knife and ate two bowls of deer chili. Remembered to test sharpness and the knife still easily shaves. Not a bad practical "test" and furthers my belief that a 3" blade is plenty for the job. I've done it with less. No plans for any kind of stropping, not needed yet. Maybe I can put one more in the cooler and see how it goes.
