mack/misophist: I boght David Boye's book when it first came out way back and that's why I remember his name. But I never got any of his pretty knives, and now I can't. Too bad. I suspect the etching is done in stages: the deepest background first, second deepest and the deepest (again) next, and so on. And I'm ashamed to admit I all too often leave knives in the sheath. It's really gross if there's brass in contact wikth the leather. clint
