Google Books had some rather interesting books about such designs and drawing, but last time I checked they were offline. Just search for 'engraving' or something similar on Google Books.

I've met quite a few engravers, who have engraved knives on your website. My goal is to be good enough one day to engrave a knife and be included also on your website :) Thanks, Mark.

I started engraving when the knives I made needed some embellishment :). And after trying for some time on my own I took 1-week GRS basic class from Sam Alfano and it really helped. For equipment I use Lindsay Classic graver with PalmControl, a very nice tool. Ron, thanks!

Very nice job! Shows well against the gold case. I know that you were a programmer moving into a new profession and it certianly seems that you are excellent at the new line of work. How did you get started engraving? Did you take any classes? What type of equipment do you use? Thanks - Ron Greetings!
