Took a break from making slipjoints and made this little fixed blade hunting knife. Help me out and let me know which direction to go, do I continue making fixed blades or keep focusing on slippies? (Slipjoint in photos for comparison)

That’s a beautiful fixed blade, but I think your talents are better spent on slipjoints. You’re already making nice slippies, and can only get better. Fixed blades are great and all, but there’s something truly skillful about making a high quality slipjoint.
That’s just to answer your question! Make whatever you want in the end! Doesn’t hurt to switch it up occasionally for your own sanity.
I haven’t seen a slipjoint of yours that I haven’t lusted over. That said, there’s probably a huge market for custom fixed blade knives. I imagine that either one must bring you a tremendous amount of satisfaction so I say follow your bliss.
