Stamping a knife

[timfish]

Hey yall,,, need some help,,, a buddy of mine ordered me a hot stamp so i could put a small FBF (Fat bastard forge) on my knives
While i appreciate the offer and new tool,,, ive never stamped one,,, especially very thin chef and fillet knives,,, i usually make them from 1095 1/16" thick steel,,, i wanna be able to do it without warpinf them...
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

You may want to save the stamp for thicker stock. Look into etching your mark on the thin blades.

As a guy that stamps his blades I agree with Marc, on that thickness, etch. Another thought I like to pass on. You should think of your mark as a way to find you. If I wanted to find you how would Googling FBF work out? Fat Bastard Forge would probably lead me to you if yo've been making knives for a while and posting here and there. Something to think on.
