I'm sorry. How long would it take you to do all the work from stock knife to finished? It must be a lengthy process?

Now indeed I have understood his question.
Thanks for his interest, friend. When a person shows works at forums, hope that friends ask around on work taught on the set.
This work of engraving has many hours, because he has to do with a engraving special. I have not told hours's number, but I do it with pleasure when the result is positive.
But although he carries many hours, I am accustomed to these complex works. I have dedicated myself during years to make knives and also to the engraving ( I am master artisan engraver and cutler at my country ). Some of my knives of goldsmithery have me take hundred of hours and several months of work, to make an only knife.
Finally I stopped making knives and I devote myself to partial time to the engraving.
Although I have shown he makes time many knives and engravings my at this forum; I wish to show you any photo of my works, as a token of my gratitude for his interest.
A greeting and thanks to participate.
These photos are stop that you enjoy them.
Especial knives are sold off by me completely.
