Hey Monk,

Good job! Was it pretty tough to cut? I have done a couple of these and each one was different. The reason I ask is your wiggle? line border looks like you had a little trouble with it.

i like the unique border,sets it off from others , photo even came out better with your new tent lite.

too bad there arent alot more of those winchester knives out there floating around. old,stupid me, i passed them up when i should have gathered them up. so much for hindsight. not much quality in what is being shipped in nowdays. guess if we want american, we will have to re-invent it. it should begin with us. dont engrave items made outside the u.s.a. , that will help, you sure wont be adding value to something that is worthless to begin with. i bet that monk is sitting on boxes of winchesters......

I think Monk is sitting on a lot of boxes of neat stuff, that he should SHARE with his fellow engravers.

Good Morning,
I found these little knives on Ebay that look like they might be good for engraving....i got one
it is made in china but are kinda cool looking with the damascus blades
i have not tried to cut it yet.
hope this helps

i have a body tremor that i medicate for. sometimes , i never know when, as a cut progresses, i'll stray from the intended path a bit. the outer border is not wiggle. it's an ongoing, what i call a spike cut. i guess it has other names. really not very tough to cut, but cant get it to look brite. i didn't use lube either.

 

[richard hall]

i liked the spiked look,gave it a uniqueness, might incorporate that into something ive been working on. think you may be correct on the lube idea,some stainless does cut diffently.

wish i could have the knife in my hand it would be easyer to see how bright your cuts are, have you tried carbide with polished faces ?
thanks for the new pic. Carl Bleile

the few carbides i have are sm squares. i have no carbides that would lend to a brite cut.
