That is some nice work.Where are you located?I do a few patterns that I stretch out or do a little more angle to get a different look.Sometimes I surprise myself and one will turn out real nice.Wish Iwas good with a camera to get a record of them as once they leave me they are gone forever.Do you sign your work?Not prying just thought it would be a good idea.I sign my name inside and usually on one blade tang. I have a friend in Georgia who stamps his intials on the liner inside. His name is Ben Hulsey, a great guy and inspirational to me at my start.The other maker who inspired me is Stan Shaw of Sheffield,England. His work though not elaborate is first class and a bit like a signature.I have one of his knives in my collection. He does a coach knife,with all the tools for a stagecoach 16-1800 era sells for 4000 bucks,engraved silver bolsters and AAA pearl with filework.

Thank You
Thomas, I do sign my work. I used to engrave my initials and the year inside the liner but now stamp them if I completely disassemble the knife. I'm in Ohio. I've got a load of filework pics on my site, www.muskratmancustomknives.com
