Tried an etch with vinyl from one of those cricut scrapbooking cutters. Worked pretty decent on a knife I made to try a new to me profile and decided to make it a gift.
Nothing fancy.

Just a little clean up with 2000 grit after this.

They seem to be getting popular, I've had a couple of people ask me to make one. Did one with a pretty cool hamon that the guy asked me to keep etching until it was black.They call them Serbian Chef's knife .....15n20 , 3.5mm

First completed knife in about 6 years due to 'life'. Had to relearn some things along the way and it's not quite as refined as I would like, but feels good to be at it again.Nice! I see a lot of those colors in my neck of the woods. Have to try one of these knives soon.Finished these "drop-puuks" with sheaths.

I've done a handful of dovetail bolsters in wood and metal, this is my first with front and back. Going slow and taking a lot of think breaks, but everything's pretty darn tight so far...Wish me luck.My wife's grandfather was a machinist. I got most of his tools when he passed several years ago. A few micrometers, a LOT of 1 1/4 box end wrenches, and his Kennedy toobox with assorted odds and ends. These have left me scratching my head. They look like the diamond tool we used to clean the surface grinder wheel in high school industrial arts class. They're marked JK Smit Sons with a few different numbers. A quick Gargler search says they're certainly a diamond tool but I can't figure out exactly what they're for. Thoughts?

Not to clean but to realign/true ??? grinding wheels . . . .My wife's grandfather was a machinist. I got most of his tools when he passed several years ago.

I suppose that's what it was. Its been over 20 years.
If you have not surface grinding machine you can sell them , looks that they are quality one . . . .
I dont even know if that's what these are at this point though.If you have not surface grinding machine you can sell them , looks that they are quality one . . . .
