    I had laser marked  the blade lock release tabs on an original Leatherman SuperTool several years ago.  I took some pictures, but unfortunately, I seem to have lost those.  The handle of the tool broke and I sent it back under warranty for repair, and they sent me the newly released SuperTool 300.  So I no longer have the original one that I customized a little.

    I found the files that I used to create the laser marking programs, so perhaps I can make aa new file or two and mark a new blade or two.

    I recently got a CRKT Squid as a beater EDC knife.  Well, I seem to have a hard time leaving much of anything alone..

    So I laser marked a little graphic of Jörmungandr (the midgard serpent) on one side of the knife.

    That looks pretty good, it looks like you used a diode laser

    20W fiber laser.  Adjusted the speed, power and frequency to optimize the marking for this material.
