Re: Introduction
Vince,
Don't worry about it. I don't think anybody has anything against laser etching as long as it is not advertised as engraving the way some gun companies do to make buyers think they are getting a hand engraved piece. The laser has it's place in production and volume work and is here to stay.
My problem is with Olin's assertion that hand engraving can only be done with a hammer and chisel. Since I can engrave with a hand pushed burin, I could say that he is not a hand engraver because he needs a hammer to engrave but of course that would be bunk as well. There are all kinds of engraving and each has its place in the sceme of things.
