That looks so nice! I really really like that blade too, and the engraving is just the right thing! I think that’s really cool that you are able to not only make the knife but also engrave it!

Mario, looks like I need to get back to practicing…

Not that the record matters so much, of course

“How small can you engrave?”
Currently 32 lines per mm with a 120. I hope to get the 40 next year – ZEN

All the best!

Hi,

I’m quite impressed by your job. Nice !

Is there some place to find acanthus drawings like yours ?

Thanks !

Thanks! 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.

If you want to buy a few books, then Dover has a lot of good books about it. http://store.doverpublications.com/
