Title: Custome stamps for knife putting my mark on knife blade?
Post by: TheBigRedArcher on June 22, 2009, 11:24:00 PM

Hey all:

I am working on a few knives and I feel it would be cool to put my mark on them. Does anyone know where to get a metal stamp from? I am not looking for the run of the mill block letter but rather a cool design of an "S" as it is my last initial. or even if someone knows who makes custom stamps.

I will try to post a picture of one of my blades in the making soon.

Thanks

These are two that I know of, probably more out there.

Nice looking blade ya got going there.  If you go to your picasa page and right click on the knife image and then click on "properties" it will show the address to the image itself that you need to link to for it to show up here.

Well, I finally got some time in the garage and was able to finish up the rest of the knives and get them to the heat treaters. Now it is time for the handles. I have decided to try natural exotic woods this time to see what happens. Here are a few that I will try to get shaped and put on a couple of knives today.
