Thread: Dante's Inferno theme engraving

Thanks guys,

I actually have my first two razors planned out. One is going to have a lot of sculpting like this on the shank & tail, and matching carving on the wood scales. The other is going to be a false frame back (with engraving) inspired by one I recently saw at the KC meet.

I have to get a few ducks in a row first. I have a few projects that I need to get wrapped up and out of my way first so they are not under foot while I am working on the razors.

Can't wait Ray. They will be spectacular I'm sure :-)

I want to see you engrave a double shoulder along with the shank and tang! I also think if you were to do your engraving along the spine and then around the wedge it would look pretty sweet. Excellent work on that knife handle too.

OMG! Thank you for posting that...what a work of art.

When I see someone who is able to effortlessly play a musical instrument beautifully I always wonder what it's like to have that kind of talent. I think the same thing when I see your work, Ray. Your stuff isn't simply technically flawless, it's also very artistic.

Holy cow. As a Dante fan I am stunned, If there were a razor with that engraving I would take out a hefty loan to own it.

Ray, that is stunning. I can't say I have ever seen engraving that nice. You are a true master. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

I have no words for that, it's just too amazing to take in! Thanks for sharing!

That is some of the nicest engraving I have ever seen, I am stunned that such beautiful work can be done by hand. The owner of that knife has a true heirloom piece that will outlive us all, and awe people with it's beauty for centuries.

That's confoundingly beautiful.
