I'm curious, is there no maker's mark on this blade?

I keep coming back to this page, lol. That handle shape is just awesome.....

You are not alone.

Haha, thanks.

Yeah, there's a makers mark on it. It's where the darkest part of the knife is in the second pic, you can sorta see it as a lighter blob. The lighting in that picture is sorta flat, and didn't pick it up very well.

Also, the cheap etcher I bought...won't name any names...doesn't have the option of leaving a dark mark. As the saying goes "buy once cry once". My bad.

EDIT: But I've since Macgyvered one so that I can reverse the current and leave a dark mark. Until I buy a better one.
