Engraving Dragonfly .

[defenestrate]

Antonio,
I second Paul's sentiment. I think the original photos do an excellent job at showing the relief from the etch - I wouldn't mind another shot to see what the handles look like without as well, but either way, I think your work is beautiful. It reminds me of oldschool filagree work, and I would be proud one day to own a knife with this kind of work done on it. Those D'flies and the Kiwi (I was wondering, Paul, about this piece after seeing it on your website - now I know - very cool) are truly top-notch gentleman's folders at this point that would be as at home at a black-tie-only affair as out in the yard working.

Paul,
Has the etching made any difference as far as the function of your kiwi? I'd imagine it would collect more dirt if one were working outside, but being stainless, that it wouldn't be too bad as far as pitting or similar. I'd really like to get something like this one day. They are quite beautiful.

Thanks for the words of respect for my work.

You can burn both the grip with the blade of the knife. In this forum I have shown my work in several Spyderco. Show some photos to remember some of these pieces.
In short finish a piece Sage in titanium, with a special job and I hope to show it in this forum friend.

Thanks

Antonio
