    you have come a long way Viper. lovely work.
    Yes he does...however all you need is a car battery charger, salt water and a vinyl stencil , you can etch as deep as you want and it's sharp and concise.
    YouTube is my friend , very easy to do and basically for free.
    The makers mark with the two snakes and the eye are a a nod to Medusa. Thanks for the comments, really appreciated.

    Nice design and logo.
    I really like your new logo.
    Who makes the vinyl stencils, or do you make them yourselves?
    Excellent work!
    Or you can stay within 300 yards and keep life a lot simpler.

    @diana2 , I'm a sign writer so graphic art / design is part of my trade and of course cutting vinyl lettering and stencils is just part of my day.
    Thanks for the comment on the makers mark, it has certainly added another element to the look of the knives as well as branding.

    Hey Viper I’m curious about the vinyl stencils, can you reuse them once made or do you make a new one each time?

    Currently I use nail polish and then scratch a logo into that, then a 9 volt battery and vinegar on a cotton bud, but I don’t get the repeatability or the neatness of yours.

    I would be interested in buying some vinyl stencil off of you, or even commissioning one if that would be something you do.
