I really like them!  If you want to sell any in the future, i would take two!

ive  got one more to make for a PW'er who supplied me with a load of hardwood cuts ..ebony oak etc.........then im taking a break from folding knives and will focus on building a forge- com- smelter and forging a few hunting sheathed knives...................

You should start putting Ditchman Knives on them. Start a line of selling them, sure they would sell like hot cakes.

Nice thing is the blades can be changed and get to keep the handmade handle.

Yes, now there is an idea Ditchie. Make a different shape blade to fit, say a skinner and devise a quick release pin .....  Heh!!!   I'm full of good dieas...want any more give me a call:whistling:

Not difficult, also simple to do it with salt water and a battery charger.  Stick on letters, nail varnish the whole knife blade remover the letters carefully and give the blade 30 seconds or so in the solution.  Remove nail varnish and polish.

what im trying to find is what they do for guns...........you send the company the size and space and type face of the lettering....they make up the stick on stencils....and send them out with the acid...a thick type of semi gel stuff .........which is bloody strong and etches very deeply..................
