This is one of 3 I am making. Inspired by famous Sheffield Lambsfoot pattern. I engrave the knife with diamond scratch bit on manual pantograph with a resist and then electro etch were the letters were scratched. It comes out looking old-timey.

8670 carbon steel , stainless bolsters liners shield, bronze washers, iron wood scales

Congratulations, great work, ashwinearl.
Those are all beautiful, took a few minutes of admiring them to decide but the 1st one posted on the 30th with the Ironwood handles is the real looker! ::tu::
