Icon10 Buckles - what do you think about these?

You may have seen some of these buckles in one of my previous thread, however now they are 100% finished, so I would like to share them with you:) It would be also great to know what do you think about them

Few words about buckles: :)
basic shape is machine cut, all the rest process is done by my hands using files, sandpaper and vice only instead of grinders and other electric stuff

This is how they were looking after cutting and before hand work


This is how they look now (it was free workout for me :D)
Golem Footprint

Moon Dust

Be the King

Lord of Steel

Turtle Shell

Individualist

Harpoon

Camel

Eagle's Claw

Boss


and the back sides, thanks to filed back, they fit on a strap as well as bent ones or even better


Well I cant imagine wearing any other buckles now :P

Nice

They look nice and different than others! IMHO, if you can make "screw in" instead of spring bar, that will be better.

I think they are a bit rough around the edges for me but I am but one person with an opinion. Now if you had any of these for sale, I would be the first in line.

Thank You:) Both screw in and spring bar buckles have some pros and cons both:)

Thanks for your opinion:)
Yes definitely they are rough:) They are also massive and heavy, as I wanted them to be:) Do not want to make sale corner here as rules forbid that:) However if I decide I will post them on saleforum.
