Just finished

[backtines]

I had this knife finished a while ago and I just finished up the sheath .. I tried something a little different with the center switching and the copper pins. I guess it looks ok .

This is the first etch with my logo and I think I may have burned it in a little too deep . The edges of each letter look like the grew little legs . Is that because the settings are off or I etched for 4 sec at a time for 5 times ? I guess Ill need a little more practice with it . Its hard to see unless your really up close , but I know its there ..

Other then that , we have a nice stabilized scales with red liners. Drop point style blade with a brushed finish on the bolsters.

Thats it for now .

Thanks for looking .

Very, very nice Mike.
Super clean. The etch will come to you, make a little tape hinge to put on your stencil and lift it up to check depth and you won't lose your alignment.

Yes, Mikey, this one is sweet.

Mikey,
Sweet looking knife.
If I may suggest? Spray the blade down with Windex cleaner before you tape the stencil on to the blade. That will help stop that fuzzing on the edge of your logo.

So spry down with windex and do I dry off or leave it wet ?
