Re: A Quickie For the Engrave-In ....
Hi Rich, thank-you.
I spoke with Larry Withrow before I left for the Engrave-In. He's made some more knives and I plan on getting together with him in the next week or two to see what he has got.
He doesn't have a web site and just sells at local shows. There are different sizes and some with Damascus blades that he pattern welds himself. I plan on buying a few for a couple of other engravers and you are more than welcome to have one of the knives that I pick out. I'm not looking to make any money, just want to be sure that there's excellent consistency to all the knives I pass on. As engravers, we tend to look for things the average knife user doesn't.
I also want to talk to him about tapering his tangs as well bringing his bolster finish up to a consistent, smooth 400/600 grit finish. I'll be more than happy to pass on his phone number as soon as I have given him a better expectation of what us engravers expect.
As soon as I get a hold of a few, I'll send you a PM.
Chris
