Thank you very much for taking the time to share with us Ford. I find these techniques fascinating.

[@FordHallam]

I'm pleased to hear you find it all interesting, Emma, thanks.

[@Soulsmithing]

Straight forward and easy to understand!

takes me back to my apprenticeship (german gunsmith) because you learn the basics for engraving at the school too. 😄 i really enjoyed it, but unfortunatly i dont have the creativity for that kind of work. i'm more practical orientated. and so i like to learn the techniques - you never know when you need it. 😁

[@apo1915]

great workmanship. what is the mm depth of the inlay please and. what kind of metal is the base?.. thank you

[@vegitagt]

So friction alone from pressing the lip back against the inlay is all that holds the inlay secure?

[@charliebowen5071]

Woah looks almost like carbon fibre!! How do you get that texture??

[@apo1915]

how deep do you have to cut before putting the inlay in ?. thank you ford. eccelant work as usual

[@luisfrade446]

Hallam queria perguntar-lhe se os cutelos têm algum ângulo específico, onde eu posso ter essa informação, se possível. Um forte abraço de Portugal, é sempre maravilhoso trabalhar
