Looks nice, you're also going to have to pay for a knifemaker's membership I think to sell on this site.

I like the knife, very nice! But I would change the design of the sheath. Liable to put the point of that wharnie right through the bottom, welt or no welt.

I'll second both the people above me, on all counts!

I'm just easy like that

Hey Will,

I was going to do that... Not to appear too humble but, this is about my 12th knife out my first batch of twenty something. I am a bit reluctant to put knife maker beside my name next to some of the pros who reside here. But, if I want to sell I know I need to sign up. Thanks for looking.

Hey Andrew,

Thanks.

Hey Barkes,

Thanks.

I bought an etch-o-matic (NIB off of eBay) - The mark is a on stencil from Matronics corp. I wanted (still do) a stamp but, the etch solution seemed to about 1/3 the money. I am not trying to cut corners, just went with the cheaper (but, still excepted) solution. All in it will cost me about $70 to put my mark on the blades I make.
