I ordered my maker's mark stencil's today from Ernie and now I have a strange request. I made a knife going to a Marine and I thought it would be cool to have USMC marked on the other side of my mark. Problem is I won't purchase the stencil for a one time use so does anyone have a USMC stencil (between .5" and .75") I can barrow? I'll happily pay shipping both ways and I'll practice with my own stencil first so if there is a chance of me burning it I won't go ahead and use it. If not, I'll forgo the idea but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Thanks!
 
i made a pair of dress Ka Bars years ago for a fellow marine and he had them laser etched with the EGA and USMC (i told him i could not foot the art fee for jsut 2 knives )
these days tho if i were to do it again and be charging my current pricing i woudl do it so i would have it for the likly other knives in the style
 
I know at some of the knife shops around my parts offer laser engraving for like 5-10 bucks. That might be something worth looking for.
 
I was going to let you borrow mine but I see that Ernie has taken care of you.
I got mine from Ernie a little over a year ago for a knife I made for a Marine and have only used it one time.
As you already know,you can't beat Ernie's service. I glad to hear that he is up and about after his recent misfortune.
 
Thanks anyway for the consideration Calvin.

Wow, I feel bad now. I totally forgot about his fall when I was talking to him or else I would have asked how he was doing.

Probably a real bad idea, if for no other reason then that it could potentially take money away from good people like Ernie, but whatcha think of a "Stencil Rental"? I'd pay $5 plus shipping for those one time use stencils that I bet people have lying around. meh
