Hello Peter,

Always happy to meet another fellow who likes a nice Teardrop Jack!

The name on the blade is an etch filled with paint. 

I have attached a shot of a blade without the paint. ( I like it).

As you can see, the etch is very precise and actually penetrates the surface of the blade.

Thanks for the comment.

Having the next knife from JBF Champlin and Sons handled in this harvested material is just an amazing offer to knife collectors.  Read the interesting story @ http://www.jbfchamplin.com/salvaged-rosewood-from-the-old-cattaraug...

That is one beautiful knife!

This JBF Champlin knife is 1 of 5 that was handled with old rosewood salvaged from the derelict Cattaraugus factory building in Little Valley, NY. Guess what our next run of knives will be handled with?
