Anyone have contact info for someone who makes the stamps? Also how much for 11 characters? Getting my tax return back in a couple of weeks and am planning my budget carefully.

Every order will be different due to different specifications

My stamp was around 130$(5 characters) from Evers. My Stencil was around 30$ from Ernie Grospitch. I much prefer the stencil.

Thanks. If I had a way to etch I probably might do that but to me a stamp will last longer than a stencil since once you use the stencil its gone and this knife I'm working on a stamp would last much longer. Not to mention there is not much room to place a stencil but I know I can fit a stamp in.

There are several tutorials here on building an etcher (CHEAP) Also, "once you use the stencil"....You can use it again about a dozen times and then move on to one of the other 20 stencils he sends you for 30$ and use them 12 times/stencil.... That oughtta last you a bit I'd say. If you can fit a stamp on it you can fit a stencil on it. Your stencil can be anything you desire and any size as well. Personally I really wish I hadn't spent the money on the stamp and had just bought the stencil to begin with.....

Thanks Matt. I'm with J. McDonald, "in search of a stamp", and I've wondered if makers preferred 1 method over another. I'm just guessing there's nothing "unethical or taboo" in using an etched mark on a forged blade

As someone said before Everstamp is a good choice.

I got my 2 character logo at $180 and an 8 character name for $108.

This is the knife I'm working on and yes I know its ugly but this is designed by bowfisherman for bowfisherman. Just needing to put my mark on this somehow. And yes this knife floats and its just a rough CAD drawing of it. Plan to have them waterjet cutout so that I spend less time filing and more time making them.

HERE: http://www.mickleyknives.com/html/etching_tutorial.html is a link that will get you started. Don't screw around trying to make your own stencils, just buy them from Ernie. I Bought the equipment to make them, tried my hand at it, they sucked, and I still bought them from Ernie.

I would definately go the etcher route. So much easier. If you want a good stamp at an excellent price look at Riverside Machine (Uncle Al). They are extremely well made and about a third the price.

 

[J.McDonald Knives]

Thanks guys. I'll have to look into the stencils. I'll start that tomorrow, today I'm just resting my back from my neighbors fiances birthday part last night and 5 hours of pool. Got me a billiards teacher now only cause he said I have potential.

I order a new stencil every year. I change the design up. That dates my knives to year.
