Thanks Rick! Hope you post the one you just finished soon. It is awesome!

Chris, Do the engraving before hand including the pocket and under cutting, harden and then
hammer in the gold and engrave the gold. It should also work to inlay the gold before hand and
then hardened since the heat treat temp is below melting point of the gold. I haven't tried
it that way before though. Use stainless wrap to seal the blade from the air to keep it from
oxidizing during heat treat.

Here is another one.
