About$100.00 if I recall correctly. Jeff Flannery in Kentucky did it.
There is a guy on E Bay that engraves a lot of :spyder: He sells them engraved fairly reasonable. I am sure he would engrave yours as well. He has an E bay store called Windyridgedesigns.

I have accidentally thrown my crossbill twice now, actually hitting a laptop once. It was in my father's lap. :o I have perma-clammy hands, for real, and stainless steel probly wasn't the best choice. What can I do to solve this? I'm considering taking some rougher grit sandpaper to the handle...
I guess this is what the etching is for on other models :D
:spyder: :spyder: :cool: :spyder: :spyder: Like Amen74 mentioned bro, it sounds like you need a grip like G-10, or CF is great on the Stretch2 :eek: :D

Shike, Love your engraved Dragonfly. It's one of my favorite LBK's.

I'm gonna suggest grip tape too. I don't need a lot of grip because I usually don't have very sweaty hands, but grip tape will work perfectly, it came standard on a cheapo chinese knife I bought a while ago, the grip actually caught me by surprise, i didn't need that much grip and I wasn't expecting it at all!

Here's a question... what do you cut the grip tape with?! It's abrasive, isn't it?

Thank you Aaron :) ! It's a lot of knife for the size, IMO.

WOW! nice job with those!
I don't know about the 3M stuff but I think I would steer away from standard skateboard griptape. It has far too much grip (that stuff will eat up your hands in no time! :eek: ). Although I suppose you could certainly wear it out a little bit before applying.
As for the direct sanding route: I doubt thats going to give you the grip your after! :o

Yea I know, bad idea... I've actually gotten more comfortable with the knife as of late. I'm almost obsessive compulsive about practicing drawing and opening in my free time, so I've become more accustomed to the grip. I'll probly not change anything, just buy more spydie's... I have a white Endura shipping to me and I really want the Citadel. :eek: Gotta love AL knife laws

This 3m tape is diferent to skateboard tape and stairs tape. It has less grip.
This tape is used in the floor of bathtub.
