....and my second.

Right now all I have is an old mecanical typewriter to mark the stencils, but I wanted to start putting something on the knives. I'll probably have some made that are more professional looking, but for now - rough looking kind of fits with the name.

Here's two that I marked. One has cocobolo scales, and the other lace wood. I'm going to reshape the lace wood a little to make a more comfortable fit.

Cool, I also like the font in #4. Both knives look great, though the cocobolo really sets off the brass.

Well done!!

A man who puts his name on something, says a lot about that man. A man who can keep his name on the same, says even more.

The font is the same on both. On #4, I think I moved the stencil a little while I was applying the current.

The personalizer has two modes - mark and etch. I'm working on another one now (armadillo scales are kicking my butt) that I'll try the etch mode on.

Great work yet again Crash.... Likewise I also like that look, reminds me of Calligraphy.
