Just finished etching the handle of my Commander. Not perfect, but not bad either if I do say so myself :D Trickiest part was not going too deep.

Just thought maybe some of y'all would like to see. Had to exagerate the contrast a touch so it would show well in the pic... but what you see is only a bit whiter than reality.

BTW...

I do try to make a very meager living doing etching and engraving. Mostly I work on glass but... I would consider offering my services for G-10 etching for a very modest fee (think maybe $5 plus shipping and insurance)

Don't know if there is an interest in this or not but I figured I'd throw it out there at least.
 
Bob,
That is awesome! What do you need as far as a design media to do that? A picture, a sketch, an idea, and does it need to be to scale?
 
Hi Bob,

Very cool.

Please allow me to be the first to take you up on your engraving services.

I would like to send my daily carry Commmander SF with blue liner and a satin skull clip top you for the Lethal Edge Skull engraving just like yours.

Just tell me what I need to do.
 
hokley dokley... :D

first off.. for ExMB :
I can work with pretty much anything. Approximate scale helps but I can adjust scale if needed. I prefer to reduce scale rather than enlarge because the other way I lose resolution and have to do a lot of fuss work. If you have something specific let me know, I can work something out for you. If I end up doing the drawing... might need to add a buck or two but it all depends on what we're talking about so let me know.

And now for the masses :D
I'll need your contact info, your specific engraving request (mostly I assume y'all want the lethal skull but hey... there's options ;) ), and of course... your knife ( or at least the appropriate scale from your knife, your choice). However you ship and insure when sending it, I will return it the same way. So let me know what I need to ask for in the way of s/i options. Also, whatever you pay to ship... that's what you need to add for return, since it ought to be pretty much the same both ways.

I will do my best to ship your knife back out either the same day I receive or the next business day depending on what time of day it arrives on my doorstep. If I do get backlogged I'll let everyone know it.

At this point I'm going to limit this to G-10 handles just because I haven't tried it on anything else but if you do have a knife with some other type of handle that you'd like done let me know and I'll see if I can accomodate. Also I'd prefer not to do any lettering since I do this by hand and well... lettering by hand is hard especially on soft materials like G-10 where its damn near impossible.

OK... so... how to get a hold of me...
I'd prefer not to give out my address here so... my email is:

ry-ryster@excite.com

Once I get your message there I will provide necessary details and arrange payment options. Don't worry if you don't get a reply instantly cuz well... I'm human :D but I will get back to you ASAP!

As for payment... I'm pretty flexible... personal check, money order, Paypal. I don't reccomend cash only cuz of the obvious issue of sending it through the mail. Although if you happen by some miracle to be in driving distance of me obviously cash is good (and you'd save on shipping)

So... have I covered the bases? Any other questions let me know... either here or by email. For alternate designs let me know by email and I'll call you if need be to discuss it...
 
Sorry for the delay... had to run some errands.

Okay... after a little slow math :D here's what I've come up with. Those who've ordered so far will get their Lethal Skull etching for the intro price of $5 plus s/h/i for each knife. And if I can lure in any more suspects (here kitty kitty... uh... I mean ... uh :D ) all further orders will be taken at the still low price of $10 for the first knife and $5 for each additional knife plus s/h/i.

I will now wander off to my email to reply to all.
 
See2, Hollister, and Sniper308....
got your emails and have replied.
Your on the list my friends and as soon as your knives or scales get here I'll get right on them. Let me know if my email response left any questions unanswered.
 
Derek and AncientSUL you too are on the list though I'd like to confirm via email if possible...

BTW...
I just went back through the posts and it finally dawned on me who ya are Derek (open palm, hit forehead) DOH!
I've talked with ya on the phone I think, though you'd never remember. Anyway I am honored to have interest from someone at EKI... especially since I was just debating with myself whether I ought to be getting EKI permission to use the logo (for Emersons only of course ;) ) before I take more orders. Is it assuming too much to hope that your interest indicates approval??? :D :D :D
 
I want mine done also, BobLeeSwagger could you email me please, I tried to email you but I couldn't. Thanks.
