Thanks, kayakersteve! I just submitted my design idea and hopefully it doesn't break the bank! I'd prefer stamping over etching but have struggled to find any place to make stamps so thanks for the information.
What do you use to etch your makers mark into the blade? I'm looking for a stencil to do the same thing for "acid etching" my blades with vinegar and salt + electricity (which is what I'm assuming you use?)
Any information on your system would be appreciated!
