This was my first crack at one of Chris DeCimillis' knife patterns. I took the liberty of trying out a banner I designed, on the opposite side. I'm more used to sterling so I was initially spending way too much time resharpening until I got the hang of engraving a harder material. Thanks for looking...Dan

This is nicely cut but the design going outside the edges of the knife doesn't make sense to me.
You worked hard on this and it shows :clapping:

Thank you Sam. I've been trying to work on my shading. I'm learning that each individual shade line has to have a purposeful beginning point and end point or it will automatically draw your eye and look out of place. As for the design going outside the edges? I originally intended to carry the design over the beveled edge of the knife. Engraving it that way became too problematic for my skill set so I bagged the idea. Luckily it is just a practice piece for my drawer...lesson learned...:)
