Recently I had an idea for a project with an engraver friend of mine Dan Grubaugh from Michigan. I've seen his work many times but decided one day to give this Smith already a classic knife on it's own merits, an embellishment. We discussed many different ideas, sketched out several patterns, and finally decided on this design. I just received the knife back today and while Dan kept me involved with work in progress photos, the real deal has exceeded my expectations. I'm posting 3 photo's that I think really show off a beautiful engraving on this Smithsonian.

The last image was this Smith before I sent it to Dan.

Best,
Warren
