Engraved Steve Hoel Knife..........

A little "ole school" for a mighty fine knife. Rather than flowing leaves and tons of gold I decided to go with the familiar ?stone hard gun engraving? on this one. Even though it is a fairly simple engraving I believe it went well with the stag. The old adage of ?Keep it simple stupid? seemed to be the best route for this beautifully design knife. My photography leaves allot to be desired?the knife really looks much better in person. If there are any questions... please feel free to ask.
Jim

I have a question, I used to own that knife why did I sell it?

Jim, you have really done it a super job on this fine knife and created a masterpiece in the process.

Thanks for the comments.......
There was plenty of space on this knife to do allot of engraving. On this knife the client allowed me to do what ever I wanted. I have to admit.... that is the way it is in most cases and makes the whole engraving experience more enjoyable. Andrew, at my age it is hard to engrave under adult supervision. John Hanlon at Knife Legends has let me do what ever I want and I appreciate that. JMW....Sorry! Tim....I am not sure John is a tractor kinda guy, but it don't hurt to ask. Ron P. Nott....thanks....you and your engraving are one of my favorites. Ron, how?s that deal with Colt going?
Again....Thanks for the comments!
Jim

Now that is a sweet piece of eye candy. I wish one day to be able to build a piece like that, or at least sell enough knives to purchase one.
