Great looking knife and sheath but you need to get yourself a stamp. That maker mark makes the knife look bad. :yawn:

my next one will have a stamp

G.Valdez
or G.V.

Any one?
I am open for suggestions
Thank again
 
I just stamp my initials in the left side of the ricasso if you are holding the knife with a conventional grip. I use a cheap stamping set that has the alphabet in all cap.s and numbers 0-9.
