And this is a close up of the lions .. I was going to do the lions in copper and gold but the customer had a budget . I only received the panels to engrave .. thanks ..

Ron,

The scroll looks nice. I can't really see the scene very well in the photo though. About all I can make out on my computer screen is the outlines of the lions and the trees.

What sis you use to make the scroll darker in color than the reast? Is it some kind of cold blue?

HI Ray ..Yes the scene is hard to see the metal was hi polished and makes it difficult to photograph . it is of 2 lions on the hunt ...I use Vans cold blue to darken a lot of my engraving ..

Hi Tom This knife will never be finished by me .. I did this knife for a customer and showed him the first panel when he saw it he said I dont like it I am sending you a new panel and he wanted me to do some thing else , that is when I lost it and told him that I am not a good enough of a engraver for you ........ so I wonder ? if any body else has customers like this or do I only get them . I enjoy doing work like this but most of it is on my own knives and right now I dont have time to work on my own knives .. customers work comes first , but keep watching Imay get the erge to do another one ..
