    Selling your work

    That is good work sir. I think knifepurveyors require the knives to be handmade unless that's changed over the years. I've often thought of trying them but am yet to buy a handmade knife, engrave it and ask them to ty to sell it. I find it remarkable how much some of their engraved knives are...

    the old puma

    I often wonder at the folk who say they just draw the design straight onto the metal, I admit I'm transferring too. It's hard to photograph bulino. I get the light on it... tap on the engraving (on my phone) and then drag the light balance so the whole thing is much darker. Keep going and...

    Marius Mellebye - EngraverHand Designs and Artwork

    You sure fancied that up a bit. Can not wait to see the engraving I'll wager is coming. Someone was asking about drawing programs... I'm using concepts on my phone and finding it decent. Your artworks are incredible, at first I hadn't realized they were not actual engraved pieces.

    I found this picture of Firmo Fracassi's work to serve as a study piece in moody clouds of which I consider him to have been the king.

    I tried to undercut the border then make teeth... this didn't quite work. several sections needed to be reapplied several times. lots of wire falling to the floor, very clumsy. some sections I actually dug a round channel with a bur and used a pointy bulino tool to add teeth as the...

    so process wise I've outlined the knife by taking a picture of it and getting my artwork onto different layers on concepts which has measuring tools and canvas sizes and is a bit tricky to print to actual size on but it can be done. then I did a damar varnish and laser printer on baking paper...
