    Engraving my first Spyderco knife, sculpture technique

    I gotta big but...

    I was at the Scroll Meister's studio last evening for my thrice-a-week whipping. I have been assiduously working on my poor little scrolls, hoping to one day get some kind of nod or wink of approval from Ron. And I finally did!! I had three pages of scrolls I had done for homework awaiting...
