Should have been an "N" on the end of Victoria and all future blades will be have the etching and engraving the same size as the smaller option but they will serve as they are for the first delivery.
top knife is "spilled Milk" acrylic over micarta on NitroV stainless blade
middle knife is Resin Ivory over micarta on the NitroV stainless blade
Lower knife is English Oak on 1095 Carbon steel blade.

Is the engraving hand engraving? I had a few knives made by a super knife maker in Aust ( now passed away) and he hand engraved his makers name on all his knives. Nice touch and better IMO than etching. Example below on a kitchen knife he made me.

The stainless blades are etched but the carbon steel blades are engraved. Those shown were done by Swans in Dunedin but going forward I will get them all done at Mcleays in Invercargill.
