Hey everyone..

I'm really keen to hear any and all feedback and critiques you can give me on the latest engraving I have done.

Thanks everyone for taking the time.

(It's going to be at the Melbourne Knife show this weekend 2nd & 3rd May)

Danae

Well done. You did a fine job of matching the front and rear bolsters although the bolsters are shaped so differently.

Sorry my photography isn't that great, not like Peter's photos. I did cross hatch all the design on the sides on the back part there after I took that photo

You have a couple of tiny edge over runs and corner tip overshots, but the vast majority of the work is beyond criticism. Well done!

That is always great when you don't have to haul it home. I am sure your work helped in the sale.
