I love the start, even though I've never been a fan of sub-hilts. You can pull it off tho Damon. I look at your work on Flicker and wonder why you still bother with knives. Well passion is passion. I have a neighbor who uses water colors and can make a portrait that looks like a photograph, that's how good she is. She just did a family's dog portrait for half of what it's worth cuz she doesn't have a name, Damon has a name in engraving.
Here is a link to Damon's stuff on Flicker. Include some of his "peppers".
