    Blade engraving

    Looking for tips on blade engraving. I am working with a local knifemaker and friend and have a blade to engrave before he quenches. I have heard that there is about a quarter shrinkage in the engraving itself but have also seen great detail on shading on other blades. Just looking for some...
