Quick update, I've got a large and a small design that's gonna do the trick.
Had to move to a simpler font. I'll revisit the swoopy swoop when I get some more etchig under my belt, I can't get it crisp enough yet.
The camera skewed these, they look like they're half italics. The top two are the most recent and really crisp to the eye. I gotta quit lookin at them through the Optivisor!
I think these are presentable, let me know what you think.

I know this isn't the most excited thread but it's all part of the process. I recorded a video making the stencil and etching, I might add it later.
They've got some depth to them, you can feel them with your fingernail, I'd like to get a deeper etch especially for the larger knives. I haven't tried marking one without the etch yet.The top two look good John, is there any depth to them or is it just on the surface?

Ok, so it won't rub off with use then.They've got some depth to them, you can feel them with your fingernail, I'd like to get a deeper etch especially for the larger knives. I haven't tried marking one without the etch yet.
