Are you kidding? that's the best sock I've ever seen.
If the engraving was the same size it would bring as much as any art piece in my opinion. Try and buy a boutet high art gun.
Hand engraving, art or craftsmanship? This is an age-old question

The following is the definition of applied art from Wikipedia:
“Applied art is the application of design and aesthetics to objects of function and everyday use. Whereas fine arts serve as intellectual stimulation to the viewer or academic sensibilities, the applied arts incorporate design and creative ideals to objects of utility, such as a cup, magazine or decorative park bench.†And we can, by extension say, guns, knives, jewelry, spurs, or motorcycles, etc.
But as the word ART is also used for items I don't want to be associated with, I prefer one calls me a craftsman.
