Thumbs up Good Job Dave.

They look great, especially for your first ones they are even better. I see what you mean about the carbon fiber kick.lol I tend to use my best materials after I get the kinks out, they are good looking enough now and the bottom one has an unusual profile, more like a skinner. Something I do believe it will excel at as you have your 440C HT down pretty good. As for cleaning them, spraying them out with WD-40 is still a workable old standby. Dave did you use titanium liners on the second knife or did you go with the 410 like I suggested for the ease of working with the prototype?

You are certainly right about not needing a mill for making folders. A drill press and careful work goes a long ways. It is just like driving on ice, know where you're going, go slow, be very careful and know what your next move will be. Good job again Dave.
