Hi Eddy,
I figure you have been engraving guns for a few years already before doing your first knife right?
Just looks great! I am hacking away in a nasty piece of stainless right now. If it come's out half as good as your's Ill be very happy.

Daniel

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I have never engraved a gun. I took a jewlery engraving class in Belgium.
I mostly do a bit of letter engraving. I am a Goldsmith here in Iceland. Not much of knife and gun engraving here.

Hey Eddi,
Being a goldsmith myself I do a lot of setting with the Lindsay. Did you ever try that? Hope to see some of your work someday.

Greetings,

Daniel

I only have the Gravermax at the moment. I do stonesetting with that, and it works very well. I would buy the Lindsey Palm Control if I had the money for it. I would like to try it out, but I dont think anyone has one here in Iceland.

Eddi,
Grs works fine. Maybe better not to try the Lindsay PC. It works so beatifully that you would not want to work with anything else again! (I know that that is true)
Is it cold in Iceland right now?

Awsome first!If your so inclined to spend more time on it I would do a little more work on smoothing the recesses for a flatter finish.
