Do you have a photo of the 4380 and the filet knives the gentleman made for you in Florida?

I think the photo has to be on one of those photo sites to post it here. I don't do those sites.
Maybe someone can suggest an alternative?

They are posted on another forum but I don't know if Dave would want me to post a link to another forum.

The four across the top were for my sons (and one for myself). The filet knife on the bottom was for my friend, and the small knife is the neck knife. I asked him to make a belt sheath for it for me though. It is actually more similar to what he calls his "Bird and Trout".

AND, they are first class utilitarian as well. In the lake where we fish we are fortunate to have a breeding population of Tilapia. Regardless of how the fish are biting we can pick up enough tilapia for a meal(s) during cold weather, and they are much healthier for you than their farm raised cousins.
I cleaned 14 medium to large sized Tilapia and never touched the blade to a stone. I have done this twice and still not sharpened the knife. It is as sharp as it was when I got it. He does some kind of special heat treating on the stainless steel where he heats it between stainless steel foil and then quenches it in Aluminum blocks. Whatever it is, it works great.
Some years ago I was using my favorite filet knife and broke the sharp point off of it. It broke in that sort of "tanto" angle and I just kept using it. I found that I liked it much better than with a point and I stuck my off hand much less (not at all) with no point. I told my boys that If I got another knife, the first thing I was going to do was grind the point off of it.
When I asked Dave to make these for me I sent him a profile of the blade I wanted. He did it perfectly. They are four of a kind. The one at the bottom is his regular filet knife profile.
