Looking good. I once did a sig...it was extremely hard. How is this one going for you?

Thanks Bert, it's about as hard and you'd expect. Let's just say it's keeping my sharpening skills in check, lol.

Very nice design and execution! I'm working on a SIG P238 HD (all stainless) at present. I'm chipping graver tips over and over even though I'm using about a 55 degree face on Carbalt with a dubbed point. I can't really do any fine detail so I'm keeping it simple (it's my gun). I hope the frame is not as hard as the slide.

Thank you for the kind comments. Roger I'm using a C-max 120 with a 50 degree face and a dubbed tip for the initial cutting then just a 120 with no dubbed point for shading with good results. The problem is it is murder on my flat gravers for the inlay, fortunately I work on a lot of hard metals in general so I feel like I'm getting use to it.
looks very clean & nice. generally, i don't like inlay work on selfstuffers. what you show here sort of changed my mind. thanks for showing.
