I'll bet some of you have had this same type of experience.... Javier called me to ask if there was anyway that I might be able to help him out of a jam just a week before his wedding day! He purchased a couple of very nice Aluminum handled Code 4 folding knives for his best man and himself. Unfortunately the machine engraving he tried to have done (see picture) did not work out very well. The aluminum is coated with a very hard anodized finish and it is tough to get a nice finish with a mechanical engraving machine. I was able to create a design that covered over the machine engraving and still give a pretty cool look. I also hand engraved another knife with the same design for his best man so they had a matching pair! He was delighted and it was nice to be able to help him out.
