A trio for Christmas

The following are submitted for your critique. I just finished these GPC 1000s up this weekend and delivered them today. First has scales of Two tone Amboyna burl, fileworked spine and liners and I also cut serrations for about 1 inch in the blade.






The next has scales of Hickory???(I was given the wood and I'm not positive of its origin), pollished bolsters, matching wood spine and fileworked liners.






Lastly, this one has scales of Spalted maple, blue spacer, matching wood spine and fileworked liners.






Thanks for looking.

Wow! Those are superb. I love the two tone Ambonya. And the file work has me drooling.

Excellent file work! How did you go about cutting the serrations in the hardened blade?

Thanks guys. To cut the serations I used a chainsaw sharpening stones for the Dremel. It just takes a steady hand.
