Hi everyone!
This is Jose Gpe. Ruiz from Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. I'm engineer and a full time bladesmith and knifemaker from CUCHILLOS ARTESANALES RUIZ.
I've been in this forum from 03-05-2009 and I engrave some time and a little every time but at the past christmas I got my artisan and I'm really really happy and satisfied the artisan is really a great quality and strong tool, purrs like a kitten but cuts like a Tiger.
for now I'm practicing to know it and learn to control it but I hope in a few time show the first one of my knives engraved with my artisan.
Steve and Karla thank you very much.
Best regards.
Jose.
