my new mark.

[J.Leclair]

I just placed my first order with Ernie Grospitch at erniesknives.com for stencils to mark my knives. I cant say enough good things about the process. I had basicaly no clue what I wanted other than just my name and location. Ernie sent me about 3 different versions before I was finaly happy with it. I would and will be recomending him to anyone who is looking for stencils.

here's what we came up with

I cant wait untill it gets here so I can start marking my blades

Ernies' stuff is great-- never any worries with him. My stencils look fantastic as well.

Thanks, hope they get here soon.

Looks great!
You may want to get one set inside an oval, this way if you do damascus, you etch your mark and cover with nail polish before the FC etch. When done you acetone off the polish and have a stunning silver oval (or any shape) containing your mark.

Well today my stencils finaly arrived Heres the results of my trials. I did these test marks on a blade I messed up, tried to re-profile but it just wasnt saveable. There are 2 marks in the pic one just etched (could not get it to photograph very well) the bottom one is etched then marked.
