My daughter's graduation knife-(update) goes to college

[kimsalls]

I asked my daughter, Iris, what she wanted as a high school graduation gift, and she said she would like a pocket knife. She had mentioned she liked the CRKT Eros, and I thought the new stainless steel model would make a great canvas for a custom engraving.

David Sheehan did the engraving for me. He was very patient with a first-time engraving client. For once in my life I planned ahead, so I have been holding the knife since March. It has been very hard keeping a secret. I had David engrave irises to match my daughter's name.

Graduation was yesterday. The knife was a big surprise, and she has been carrying it ever since. I am so glad she likes it.







Here is the image I sent to the engraver. You can see what a great job he did adapting my idea to something that would read well when engraved.

Beautiful knife! I have always appreciated knives with even the slightest significance. Makes it just that much more special to carry.

Other manufacturers could stand to take a cue from CRKT and leave a little real estate on their knives for engraving like this. It really turned out nice.

Well done, that is a very thoughtful present. Now she just needs 20 or so more

Well, that's enough for an EDC rotation anyway.
