Indeed !!!

Gevonovich - do you need the NYKC and Schrade files too ? - we should have waited, I suppose. :D:D

First off, I am so glad to hear the burn is not third degree and should heal quickly! Everything else can be remedied.

Thanks very much for your kind offer, but since my project is 'down the road', lets hold off for now. i will work with the files you sent me and once I work out the details and make sure it will work, we can move forward with the new files.

Thanks again, my friend. Glad you and the kitties are not out in the cold.
 
Glad you're ok, Primble! Grease fires can be the makings of a major disaster for sure!

Most printing directly onto metal, they do onto Aluminum. I'm not sure if there is a particular reason steel wouldn't work with those processes. Typically for steel people silkscreen onto it, or do some sort of emulsion transfer. It can be done - but it may be prohibitively expensive. Your best "budget" bet - would be to print it onto a clear adhesive material, or other substrate, and laminate it to the steel.

I echo the thoughts of Gevonovich and Mark - great knives and a very sacred location. :thumbup::thumbup::)
 
Hope you didn't burst the blister Rob.Keep triple antibiotic on it.Makes you want to be right at the Judgement.

Great knives posted fellas. Chief does a marvelous job of photography Charles.

3 NYKs,although one was made for HSB and is marked OVB.The old etched bone NYK has had a little something going on with the master,I can't quite do the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on it.

It turned out pretty well for me - just a little sore today and mostly a lot of clean-up done to my house. :o

Those are great NYK Farmers Jacks - I love the bone on both of those and the etch is fantastic. :eek::thumbup::thumbup:

You really picked a sweet pattern to collect Lyle. :thumbup::)
