Sell your knives for more money! Or just add artistry to your work. Engraving is one of the best ways to add beauty -- and value -- to a knife. Conventional engraving takes lots of time and lots of skill. Bladesmith Walter Sorrells shows how he uses a laser -- the XTOOL F2 Ultra fiber laser -- to bring hand engraving effects to a knife handle. It's a great way to customize knives, adding appeal and artistic expression...as well helping your work to command better prices. Spoiler alert...there's some AI involved!
