The biggest one is the first one i made. I have used it a good bit and i like it, but i wanted one a litter smaller so i made the middle sized one. I like the way it fits my hand. I had a little material left over so i made a 3/4 size and i am liking it to. All 3 will shave and work nice. The only problem is which one to use.

Beautiful work. I think the one in the upper left has the most advantageous radial distance to the hand. The taller blade, more like an Alaskan Ulu in dimensions, requires more movement (arm or wrist) to rock the blade the same arc.

Thanks for the kind words. The steel i used was a circular saw blade. The one in the upper left is the one i have been using most.
