Spyderco Forums

Hi folks,

Some people are Plumbers & some, Electricians. Me...? I scratch metal! (and love it) :)

I’m also new to the forum, so thought I’d introduce myself with Cricket that I recently completed engraving.
. Happy New Year to you all.

Joanne,

Defining that sunning example as mere scratching metal diminishes your talent...! Your are truly an artisan with stellar skills!

Happy New Year and beautiful work! Glad you are here!

Many thanks for the kind comments guys.

Welcome to the forum :)

And amazing work on that Cricket!
I own a few engraved Spydies, but they're definitely not all to such standards!

Lovely work! Think I saw it on Facebook the other day.

Dutch & Larry, thank you for your input. Much appreciated.

Welcome. I really like the contrast of square lines withal the curves on an oval knife. Very cool.

That's great! Welcome to the forum!

I sent you a message Joanne.

That looks simply amazing!

Thank you again folks

Wonderful style and contrasting flows in that piece, Joanne. Thanks for showing your superb work. :cool:

You scratch metal real good. :) :p :cool:

Happy New Year to you all.

Welcome & Happy New Year.
That is an excellent level of scratching that you've done. I wonder how this would look on one of our titanium models?

Thank you.

Titanium would work well I think. A good level of contrast is often achieved with Titanium!

A nice candidate for titanium would be the Spyderco McBee. It's small size would make it perfect pocket jewelry.

That's the one with all the holes I believe.
Not really as ideal as a plain canvas, but it's certainly a consideration. Thank you!

Joanne,

A belated welcome to the forum and a belated Happy New Year! Gorgeous work! I have seen it elsewhere, glad to see you here. Hope you enjoy the forum.

Holy cow, Joanne.
I've scratched a lot of things in my time: car doors, iPhone faces, table tops, but none have come out looking like your work. I was going to ask you to share some pictures of your tools, work in progress, etc., but I just discovered your web page. I'll be browsing around there this morning. Thanks for sharing your work.

Thank you so much for your kind compliment RustyIron!

It would seem that whilst your scratchings might not be as pretty as mine, they are quite extensive!
My congratulations on your efforts & diligence!
