Default First engraved folder.

Here's a knife I worked on over the weekend. Not perfect, but considering this is my second day of engraving since my classes (over a month ago), I didn't expect perfection. I designed the leaves, and engraved it. It's only a $40 knife, so what the heck. I'll tell ya... things look much different in a closeup photo. I have to go back now, and finetune.

Looking pretty good!

Remember, close ups / magnification are just so you can find flaws - evaluate your engraving with naked eyes at the expected normal viewing distance (you'll feel much better )

Looking forward to seeing what you can do after, say, a week.

I like the layout. Intersting grouping. What is your name, so I can name your folder properly?

Bill
