Simple question... is engraving a good investment?
Say a 7 1/2" hunter, 416 bolsters, sambar stag. Out of my shop, it's maybe a $250-275 knife. If I were to have it engraved (at a cost of about $200), would I be able to make my money back plus a little? I'd like to have a good looking engraved knife out there with my name on it, but not bad enough to lose money on the deal.
Any comment on the going prices for a well made knife with good fit/finish and engraving from a basically unknown maker?
