Molon labe - Hand Engraved Kershaw

davidshe · Apr 23, 2015

Just finished a really fun engraving job! I was commissioned to engrave a stainless steel Kershaw folder and asked to include two things; a famous greek quote, Molon labe, which means "come and take them" and some kind of Celtic design. My customer sent me a pic of the greek quote carved in stone and I tried to make the engraving look similar. Anyway, they loved it! Here are a few pics. Thanks for looking.

Very nice David. How did it cut. Did you take it apart?

Thanks Todd. I only removed the clip on back. Kershaw stainless is pretty hard. I chipped a number of tips but getting better at cutting this stuff with less breakage. I used mirror polished carbalt to get bright cuts that would contrast well with the black finish.

Very nice work, those knives are HARD 410 SS

Yeah, I've cut a couple and had lots of breaks. Dubbed and lubed and all, still tuff though.
