Default Re: A Quickie For the Engrave-In ....

I'll even let you borrow it Steve ... unless you really need me to cut your food into itty bitty bite sized pieces.

Hi Ron, the blade is differentially heat treated where the cutting edge is tough as granite but the area closer to the spine is really sweet to cut.

Hi Kirby ... definitely far from the quality of one of your knives. I'll make four to six revisions of the artwork before I even put a graver to yours. This one had only one refinement as well as a few scroll characteristics I incorporated from some previously drawn artwork .... "recycled" is a better word.

Glad you like it Colin. Many thanks.

This knife is definitely a quick money maker. As it is a West Virginia made knife, I will be able to submit it to the jury of artisan buyers at the Tamarack Foundation in Beckly. Not only will it give them (and me) another item to offer for sale through their store, it will help get Mr. Withrow recognized and eventually accepted as a juried artisan himself.
