New engraver

[henningssom]

Hi
My name is Michael Henningsson.
I am a knife maker from Sweden who has begun to engrave.

I would appreciate some comments on my engraving.
In Sweden there are not many who engrave and I find it hard to get help here.
I have learned on youtbe.
I just became a member of this fine forum and trying to put a thread recently but I do not think I managed it.
So if you have a copy here in the forum somewhere, I apologize.
Feel free to check my website, where you will find more engraving experiments.

I can tell you have a passion for this art form. Knives and engraving go together like Milk and chocolate, you can never get enough. Your knives are beautiful and you have a nack for the engraving. I have found that engraving is one of the most difficult things I am trying to learn and all I can say is practice practice practice. You have found your passion.
Good to have you on the forum keep showing us your work :hammer:

Wow!
I really had not expected so this nice response. Thank you very much.
How nice you are.
I am really looking forward to being part of this forum.

I have been a part-time knife maker in about 2.5 years and only in 2011 that I have engraved so I have much to learn.
My engraving equipment is a graversmith and a microscope is a joke.
Garversmith I'm very happy with but need to replace my microscope.
Do you have any suggestions for proper engraving microscope?
I would need a good bench as well and are very grateful for the tip on this.

Thank you again for the warm reception, I wish you all a happy new year.
Mike

Very nice looking knife and engraving.

I'm using Meiji EMZ scopes. I bought on brand new from GRS. After using it for a while, I decided I couldn't be without one. I purchased a nice used on off eBay at a very substantial savings. I would definitely recommend looking at eBay for an inexpensive solution to good optics. I found that there seems to be a regular supply of EMZ scopes in good condition for around $500-700 on eBay.
