Kitchen Knives from vintage Saw Blade

Spent a couple of weeks making kitchen knives.  Most were cut out of an antique saw mill blade.  You can see the angular scores in the steel from its previous life as a circular blade.  I really enjoy using steel from many generations ago.  All of these knives are between 11.5" and 12.5"  The dark handle is walnut, the light one is birds eye maple and the others are mesquite.  Enjoy!
 
The deep pitting from years of the sawmill blade rusting resulted in a very interesting patina.
