Thanks for the positive comments guys, it's much appreciated. 
Andy, I use stock removal. I buy the flat bar-stock, and grind it on down. Forging is something I'd like to try in the future for sure.
I ended going with my own style, mostly influenced by the Woodlore knife.

very nice work there mate! very nice indeed. - Do you use stock removal or forge the blades?
I have to ask the question - Which design (if at all) did you end up using?
