Re: Spyderco Engraving
That is beautiful! I just started engraving on a spyderco police model myself and am surprised at how easy it cut. I hope mine comes out half as nice as this one!

Re: Spyderco Engraving
Dale
I am a bench jeweler by trade. After a few years of trying to teach myself to engrave scroll, I took a begining engraving from Sam Alfano then went back and took a class on layout and design from Lee Griffiths.Also got Ron Smiths Book on scrolls.I would highly recomend you take a class,I am NOT saying that you should take these classes but to look at all of the options available to you .It will help you progress much faster then trying to do it by yourself. Dennis
