Thanks guys. Long ways to go and may ways to go wrong.
I fianlly was able to find the term I was looking for - sgian achlais.
That's the main one that's got me worried. It is a patterned steel (damasteel, a little complicated to explain) -

Mine will look like the one on the left. Right is hollow ground.
Haven't done to many daggers so it is always a slow walk to get the grinds even. VERY easy to over grind and impossible to fix.

Here is the next, got two of the blades sanded and started on the filework of one of the sgians -

Much happier with this filework.

Spectacular! Is the tang on the Sgian tapered or is it an optical effect?
