Another recent job

Here is another job I finished recently. This is a pair of Antonio Fogaruzzi (sp?) knives. On is a folder and one is a fixed blade. I don't often get to do all scroll jobs it was kind of a nice break form the norm.

Feel free to pick them apart.

The two knives had slightly different shapes. The front bolster on one is about 1/8" longer than the other and the triangular back bolster area on the other is wider than the first. This made it a challenge to design them as a pair. I could not just copy what I did on the first knife on the second but I tried to make them match as best I could.

Ray

Hey Ray it looks like a match to me very nice job .. When i want to match engraving i make a mold of it from dential silicone mold material and i then use that as a stamp to transfer the pattern to another job .. ron

That's a good idea Ron,

What do you use for a transfer ink to use with the stamp?

I tried to transfer the design from the first to the second with a tracing. That's when I found out they were not shaped exactly the same and had to draw a second design.

Ray I will coat the stamp with grafite and then coat the metal with daymar varnish if i want or need a reverse of the same pattern i will use tape and do a pull from the mold and then to the metal i can get an exact copy of the first engraving by doing this .. i hope this helps you can give me a call and we can talk on the phone also .. ron

Joe,

If I remember correctly they are about 20 thou. wide.

They taper in some places.

Ray
