Hope this is not the wrong place for this question: I am a newbie who does file work both hands, customize knives, re-handle knives and guns etc. I just got a call from a knife maker named Chuck Stapel? to have coffee etc and talk more about knives and my file work this week. I have only made two bench made knives but I love taking an "already knife" and making it mine? I would like to consider my self some one, some day as the "Carol Shelby" or "RUF" of knives. I can take any knife and can re-do the hole thing from ground up. New engine, new frame and a new look, LOL Two questions or problems.
What kind of machine or tools, tool would I need to lay down a signature "MK" or "KM" on an an already tempered knife?
Legally I probably can not throw down my signature on i.e a Buck 119 without their permission? or can I? And then sell it?
Mostly I need help on the Signature Stamp? What is the cheapest way to go on that one. I have put up some of my knives on my profile. Thanks Dogs!!!!!!! PS I have just come out of the closet with my knives, just last month. I put up a sight martinelliknives.com I write music but it seems I am getting more knife work than I can handle?
