Hand Engraving – Noblie Custom Knife (Work in Progress)

[Noblie Custom Knives]

Sharing a look at one of my current engraving projects for Noblie Custom Knives. This titanium handle features a deep-relief hand engraving inspired by ancient Egyptian symbolism — including the god Ra, a scarab, skulls, and sacred scripts.

Still a work in progress — a lot of fine detailing ahead. The base engraving is almost complete, and I'm slowly building up the contrast with copper and gold inlays. Every line is cut by hand, under the microscope, no shortcuts.

Feel free to drop your thoughts!

Finished up this piece recently—titanium scale with hand engraving, featuring a stylized depiction of Ra, the falcon-headed Egyptian god. The background is filled with engraved hieroglyphic patterns that wrap around a radiant sun motif at the pivot.

Copper, silver, and 24k gold inlays were added to highlight key elements—copper for the sun disk behind the head, silver accents on the armbands and robe, and gold in the ankh, staff, and the sunburst. Everything’s inlaid by hand and flush finished. Still a bit more shading and cleanup to do before final assembly, but the character’s really starting to pop.
