Where to put mark-name?
For years we've electro chem'd etched our name on the blade. We'd done some folders where she would "pen" the name on the the inside of the backstrap following anodizing or blasting. The contrast works really well IMO.
I like the clean look of the knife without this obvious blade mark and this lends itself to refinishing if need be. Re-writing the name on the backstrap is also easy. A marked blade when refinshed varies due to the depth of the etch. A deep etch is fine but some of the shallower etches the work to clean a blade up is  (many of ours don't get used so this isa non-issue.) Asked her today what to do for this new batch of folders...concealed mark or mark on the blade? Your thoughts? __________________ Mike
