The white handled one is in the previous picture on page 1 of this thread. The red handled one is the one he made for his boss, and the blue handled one is for his boss's teenaged son, who works with them.

This one he made for his wife's brother-in-law who is a cop and an avid hunter:

Those are nice! The bottom one is my idea of the perfect deer knife, much like the old Buck 116 caper (no longer made) I use. BTW, Does he temper the blades himself?
Sorry Puma Guy, I didn't see your question earlier. He has experimented with making the blades himself from raw steel and from blade blanks, but these blades in the pictures were not made by him. He buys the blades, makes the micarta scales, assembles the knives, and then shapes the scales to fit. Right now he's doing most of the work out if his garage. But his employer, who is a gunsmith, seems interested in what my son is doing, so he may let my son use the company's machining equipment to precision grind custom blades.

With my Christmas money, I bought a TC Electronic Corona Chorus TonePrint Series Guitar Effects Pedal, a TC Electronic Arena Reverb Pedal, and a Ernie Ball MVP Volume/Gain Expression Pedal for my acoustic setup.

I also bought a Badger Ordnance 20 MOA rail and a set of TPS Tactical TSR scope rings for my Remington 700:
