Been practicing my engraving
Here is a full engraved razor I just finished engraving the handles on. I am having a lot of fun doing this.

I really like the way you matched the style of the engraving on the blade and scales... very nicely done!

I think you did great work this. What material are the scales and what do you use for engraving?

Very nice,Mackie.It looks like a leatherworking pattern I've seen quite a bit on saddles and such.

Mackie, keep up the good work!
I've read quite a few articles on the net about how well micarta lends itself to engraving, carving, and scrimshawing. Go for it, man! 
It's awesome to watch people on this site discover and/or develop their "hidden talent" and have such fun doing it, thanks to the Straight Razor Habit.
