profile photo and Colt knife

I am slowly making some progress I have added a profile photo. This is a photo of a Colt made knife for the Colt Collectors Association. The Colt logo is a bias relief and sculptured. The flowing arabesque scroll work is cut deep and sculptured by the cuts. The tools I use for this type of engraving are a flat and a 110 degree square graver. The knife is a stainless steel. This particular stainless seemed gummy. At least it was not like gun stainless steel and would quickly wear out or break my gravers.
