Chip, what caught my eye this time is......that edge border carving is free handed right.....not stop and measure over and over? that alone is incredible to me. I couldn't draw a straight or steady curved line with even a pencil and using eraser duty freehand to save my life. well done Sir.....very well done.

I was wondering how you stuck the scales to that piece of metal!

Probably about 2/3 engraving and 1/3 anodizing, but I won't really know till I'm done with the ano.

As a craftsmen, this is the stuff of nightmares! I would be far too worried about making a mistake.

Working on the back inlay design, Hawk Knives is going to be hooking me up with new inlay without the grip panel hole so I've got more area to work with...it'll be a slight delay but SO worth it
