Another Steve Hoel Engraved Knife

[martinr]

This knife is a small Sheffield model engraved by Brian Lyttle. It was part of the Suzuki collection. I've looked everywhere for the engravers signature but can't find it anywhere on the knife. Did Lyttle sign his work?

I didn't know Brian engraved on other makers knifes, he dose mark his own knifes. You can always contact him and ask http://www.lyttleknives.com/index.htm.

Martin,

I don't know if Lytle signs his work but the design and execution of the engraving on your knife are clearly Lyttle's work.

I just got off the phone with Mr. Lyttle and he informed me that because he is a knifemaker and rarely engraves other makers work he does not sign his engraving. Also, the birds are Mockingbirds and the knife was engraved 10-12 years ago. I also told Brian that Dr. Makoto Suzuki had died and his knife collection was being sold. We discussed the Bowie that Hoel made and Lynton Mckenzie engraved. Brian Lyttle did the engraving on the sheath at Dr. Suzukis request after Lynton died. A fascinating story.

Thanks for the comments on my knife.
