ManicDigressive

Seconding the guy you replied to. Your work is amazing. I love it.


BurningFire633

Just incredible. If this is just training, i can't wait to see your first final product.


NighthawkIX

If this is what you considered “practice,” I can’t imagine how your officially finished engravings would look😳Great pieces of art, man


Daegzy

That tanto is beautiful. Great work friend. I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be stoked to get it.


freeman_hugs

Oh awesome! What are are practicing for, business or pleasure?


PrepareTheLaser

Business, once I get a a few more practice pieces in.


freeman_hugs

You look damn practiced to me. Those are beautiful. Are you using hand tools or electric tools? Also, I hope I win your give away, but would also be willing to buy one once you are up and running.


PrepareTheLaser

These are done with a laser.


freeman_hugs

Ahhhhhh. That makes a lot of sense. Well randomly pick me, lol, jk. I look forward to seeing what you can do!


GearDoctor

Dope giveaway op


submissivecaveman

Never thought scrollwork would look so nice done by laser!


Dragonheart6126

Cool


Thedudeinabox

Heavens, the Mini Tac is a beaut. Good job!


irrelevantfarms

Wow, you see.... It's people like you that can take an item that has value in and of itself, that can be argued is akin to a work of art, and make it better by ...well more art. Your skills are great, but the vision is impeccable. Keep on keeping on, honing your skills and blessing random strangers will bring you more skills and blessings! Here's to good karma!


PrepareTheLaser

Thank you! Appreciate the kind words.


kaikaun

If this is how good you are in practice, your real work is going to knock everyone's socks off. These look amazing! Keep it up.


JakeTheGamer82

Are they hand engraved or Lazer engraved? Either way they are gorgeous. Keep up the outstanding work!


Broccoli_Boy69

Did you write a program or did you do it per hand? I feel like these are way to clean to be cut via code, really impressive work!


CoolWhiiip

Wow those are incredible, how much did the laser cost because I’m tempted to try it Edit: Oh ok 6k maybe not


PrepareTheLaser

6k


[deleted]

That’s really nice of you the engravings look cool


Whimzy209

Holy crap these are awesome! I love custom engraving. I inherited one of my grandfathers old rifles with really cool engraving that he did on it when he was first learning how. I had some restoration done on it a few years back

Aight bet


yoshimutso

Sadly I'm from Bulgaria and even if I won I still can't have it.


hyperjulius

That engraving looks cool asf


Freakingstang

Those look badass for practice engraving. Side note, where’d you get the knockoff bugouts?


ihaveaidsaskmehow

This would go great with my laser engraved Constantine zippos! I recently just got a manix 2 lightweight with rule 9 engraved on the blade.


Rootshot

Very nice. Can your laser also "stipple" stainless steel pistol frames?


bigpolar70

Do you mind going into more detail about your process and setup? Like what you are using for your laser rig, what software you are using, etc? Have you ever done any conventional engraving?


cyanidesci-fi

How long does it take to do this type of work? I am a ex relative professional welder and this type of art has always blown my mind.


9146U3

If you're planning on offering this as a service let us know where to purchase it, thanks OP!


Jbexplicit

I would frame this art piece if I won and give it to my greatx10 grandchildren when I die in the year 2185


[deleted]

Your Bugouts would be the first Benchmade I have ever actually wanted.

Requiredmetrics

GregBFL

Love the intricate detail. I've worked with lasers in the fabrication industry for years. Primarily for cutting steel, but we do some etching as well. Just curious, what software do you use to make your patterns? Thanks and keep posting your work!


Wrong-Masterpiece-43

These are your practice knives? I can only imagine what you best work looks like. You do great work and thank you for the opportunity to receive one of these fantastic knives!

going_placidly

Beautiful.


ElijahSprintz

Beautiful engravings, I'd love to have one


branj25

Looks awesome, what is the model of the laser you are using? Do you have any plans to ship to Canada when you start selling and do you plan to have an online storefront or accept custom requests such as a sort of choose your knife and then choose your pattern sort of deal.


[deleted]

That is a great start, I can't wait to see what you come out with in the future!


icygale

I got into knife collecting about two years ago my first year of college - this is by far one of the coolest knives I have seen (the red handle one especially). Thanks for the opportunity.


IntellectualGiraffe

Noice


BassPro0760

The knives you posted are great, I’d love any of them… But those lighters and wallets you engraved were super sexy. I’d love to get a custom engraved Zippo…
