Does anyone know the name of the woman who used to engrave subjects and scenes on pocket knife handles? I've forgotten her name. As I recall, she mostly worked with Case knives. But she also engraved GECs. I passed up a chance about 10 years ago to buy a peanut with a trout engraved on its handle. I've been kicking myself ever since. Anyone have any photos of this woman's work?
I'm certain that examples of her work are hard to find and that the prices are sky high by now.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe "etching" or "scrimshaw" are more correct terms for her work.

Thinking of Linda Karst, maybe?
There's currently a Case Trapper with her work at Sheppard Hills Cutlery. I know she's done a lot of work for Case and was a bit surprised there weren't more offerings.
Google Karst Scrimshaw and see if that's who you want.

YES! Thank you so much!
Hopefully I'll be able to score a nice example of her work.
