Serial numbers: useful, or not?

Hi Raymond,
Yes, I think for the moment (until I find a method for marking that suits me) I'm going to quit stamping the serial numbers. Instead I'm going to start including a certificate of origin with each knife, which still isn't a perfect fix, since the knife and certificate can be separated.

Good call. Retaining a copy of the certificate for your records would be a good idea, too.

Thanks for bringing it up. I was going to post my decision here, but life kept preventing me from doing so. ;)

I just got my certificate in the mail today for the last Fisk I bought.
It has a photo, registration #, description, all specifications and maker's signature/stamp all good documentation for the maker and collector.
