Sam's monograms on some Buck knives

davidshe · Aug 7, 2014

I just finished engraving 8 groomsmen gift knives for a customer in Boston. These really cool looking letters are from Sam's monogram kit. That is the first "Z" I have ever engraved! These anniversary model Buck 110's sure make nice gifts. The brass is a little inconsistent (hard then soft and sometimes gooey) but overall they engrave ok. Used a 116 for most of it. The background texture is a light cross hatch pattern I put in with a bench top mill before engraving. Thanks for looking

They look great! I bet they love them.

Excellent! I am sure the grooms men will have bigger grins than everybody else.

Fantastic work David, also very nice textured background :thumbsup:

That cross hatch pattern is a lot of passes with a milling cutter, CNC would pay dividends on a job like this. Turned out very nicely.

Thanks for all your kind comments!

Don, my little mill does have the cnc add on and although the programming and workholding take up a LOT of time it sure beats one pass at a time when doing multiple knives.
