Part 2 of the .22 Smith. Main cuts are made, Background removal has commenced... Because I have no patience, I shaded some stuff too (which should be done last).

Just finished work on this beauty, the "Cholo Blaster 3000". (I did not pick the name, just FYI.) I first engraved this 3(?) Years ago, but only the sides of the slide. The flare cut is all done recently as well as the solid copper grips and the inlayed sugar skull

A commissioned spyderco police model. The client asked for a "full reaper". The narrow handle made identifying this fellow a little difficult. However, the addition of the hourglass and headstone rounds out the composition and makes more clear what you are looking at. Overall it came out nice! www.engravetoledo.com

A Franklin 1/2 dollar "hobo nickel" i did for a client. Looks pretty cool in my estimation! Come to www.engravetoledo.com for your own "damaged" currency
