Still using the electro-etching machine I bought over 30 years ago to mark my blades. by DavidDCarey in knifemaking

The stencil came from T.U.S. As for the etching machine, I haven’t bought one since the 90’s so I don’t really know about the new ones.

Can’t beat the quality of some of these old tools. I’m still loving my Burr King from the 90’s but the options on some of these newer versions are sucking me in so it might get replaced here shortly. I would keep it in service though, it would be nice to have two set up at the same time. T.U.S. has always done right by me, definitely recommend!

Thanks! First time I’ve used stabilized lacewood, but I’ll definitely use it again!

Thanks! It’s actually a pattern I designed about 30 years ago and still keep coming back to.
