Here's the knife with engraving about which I asked your input before. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to do one more redraw, but luckily for me the banner almost hides the trouble spots .
One thing I learned from this project - I made the design too messy and too small for the bolsters. That kind of design would probably look better on the surface twice the size. More chance to shade etc.
As usual, all your comments and critique is more than welcome!
P.S. I just noticed that few days more than one year ago I became a member of this forum knowing absolutely nothing about engraving. So, I guess happy anniversary to me .
I must say it's been a great-great year full of learning from the best of the best.
