seagiant Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Hi, Got my Maker's Mark, from a young Lady in the Ukraine through Etsy... Do not see alot on Maker's Marks, but like to mark my knives. I think it also increases value for the future Owner and shows a Bench Made Knife. It's for Sea Giant Forge, and is actually, Quetzalcoatl, a Mayan, Aztec God. The Story goes that Quetzalcoatl, sailed away to the East and vowed to one day come back to claim his Kingdom from the Aztec. When Cortez arrived on a "Moving Island", from the East, the Natives was wondering at first if it was Quetzalcoatl, returning to take back his land??? (maybe it was, they lost their Empire!) Interesting if you like History, but think it makes a good Mark, with a story behind it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 That's a good looking (maker's) touch mark and interesting story about it too. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sails. ~ Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLiner Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I like the makers mark. Quetzalcoatl was an Aztec god. Kukulkan was the Mayan version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Thanks, you are correct, different names, same God! Surprising how many people today have no idea, what I am talking about... When I mention this!

seagiant Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Hi, Might want to read this, by Bernal Diaz... He was a young Adventurer, with Cortez and was also on 2 previous missions to Mexico. Probably my favorite book and considered the most accurate info on the Expedition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
