That is better than the origiinal! Well done.
With an engraving chisle I got from jantz supply. I had to cut them in by hand the old fashioned way.I forgot to ask. How did you cut the thumb notches in the blade. They are extremely well done.
Your right, I think I have asked that poor lathe to do way more than it's really capable of.Very good lathe work there. I have the same lathe, and it is very hard to get precision work on it. Much easier on a bigger beefier machine.
