custom slip joint marking poll

[ken erickson]

I much prefer stamping over etching.

Elliott,

I think in the future stamping is going to be in the cards also for me. I would have to change my construction processes a bit.

Anthony,

Thanks for your input!

Kind of like the first issue of blade steel identification, it's a minor point. If I had a choice then it would be for a stamp vs. etch, but it's not a deal breaker by any means.

I think that since the customs that I buy will far outlast me, I would like to see them marked very discreetly , opposite the makers name. A fine roll type stamp will be a very nice feature to these knives. Most makers use a variety of steels so this would help any future owner. Thanks for asking.

I prefer to have the blade steel marked only if its small, discreet and doesn't affect the overall look of the knife.

+1 I hate it when they write a book on the side of the blade.

In these days of a ga-zillion steel types, NOT stamping the steel type is akin to selling mystery meat...which is to say that it implies that "we're not tellin' you what's in it cuz, if you knew, it'd make you puke"
