Re: My first attempt at a Knife
Sarah,
For a student engraver the knicker is a fine job. An artist can always pick their own work apart but I have looked at many engraved stags and yours is as good as many especially considering that the shape of the end cap does not lend itself to a full set of antlers.
I am always very pleased to see you present your work here because we don't see many young people entering the trade and caring enough to seek input from others on the forums.
Considering your youth and desire for constant improvement, I can hardly imagine the master that you will become in a few years time. In 20 years your work could be the equal of Martin Strolz or the other great Germanic engravers.
Best wishes,
Roger
