Darren, the engraving looks outstanding. I still can barely understand how you people do that.

Darren,

As always, I am so very, very impressed!!!

There are those engravers with marvelous technique, and then there are a handful of engravers who are just out and out "tasty"... You are that rare combination of both.

It's such a pleasure to see your work...keep 'em coming!


Dennis Greenbaum

Yeah Baby!

Ditto!

Does anyone remember seeing criticism of Darren's work??

Curious: How long did it take you to do this?

Thanks allot guys

I had a good time engraving this knife for Sean, every thing just went real smooth, with a nice open bolster to work on, the design came real easy from the pencil.
Sean has been great to work with and is a heck of a nice guy, I hope we can do more projects together soon, I'll have this knife with me as well as the Rock Creek Bowie at the Montana Knifemakers Assn. show, from July 30 - Aug. 1 in Missoula http://www.montanaknifemakers.com/ if any of you should get there be sure to stop at my table and say hi.

Jack: I have right at ten hours in this knife that includes the design work.



Darren
