[@Gojirafistful]

This came out looking great 👍

[@voightengraving]

Thank you! 😊

[@kristibbradshaw]

The best steel is from Japan, Germany, and the USA. You do beautiful work.

[@voightengraving]

I agree. Thanks for your encouragement.

Jordan from michigan here. Turned out damn good man! I work at Manson precision reamers hand cutting gunsmithing tools and I’ve always admired engravings, especially being a gun guy. I know I can do it, can’t wait to start here soon. Just have to get the tools and hunker down for winter & get at it.

[@voightengraving]

Best of luck! It’s a lot of fun.

[@JTEL1911]

It seems like it once you get the hang of things and can really start making and creating some cool stuff. I’m just shopping right now, tons of options that’s for sure.

Love your vidio ,and your skills

[@voightengraving]

Thank you!

[@jakoblarusson1276]

For beginner in engraving is it necessary to learn traditional engraving, like scrolls, before learning flare cuting ? Thanks for your videos 😊

The quality of Spyderco's Seki-City production is all over the place, so its not surprising at all to hear that you encountered such variation between the two. Have you done much work with 6Al4V titanium?

[@voightengraving]

Yes it was very inconsistent but manageable after all. I have cut Titanium once. An engraver friend sent me a pendant but I'm not sure what it was exactly. Whatever it was it cut very well. I know that some titanium doesn't.

[@mulanjamilah7849]

love to see cool videos like this. oh can you make a video lesson on how to do scroll sculpting? Thank You

Do you want your bit's to be magnetic magnetized?yes or no and why?

[@voightengraving]

I demagnetize my gravers. Having metal stick to the top impedes the ability to see what you are doing.

[@raymondmirabal5879]

Say knife was bought for 20 after engraving how mutch more is it worth?

[@voightengraving]

I’m not sure what your question is.

[@raymondmirabal5879]

Why hasn't he been impeached yet this is cruel he is sick well comes with old age . Let him retire and enjoy his golden years! nobody is laughing anymore.

[@voightengraving]

I’m laughing!
