A custom-made knife by Loyd McConnell that we jointly did for the legend Chuck Yeager. Engraving the meteorite was a little difficult due to the varying hardness of each separate layer. the gold lines in the signature required many extra cuts to be sure the inlay would be perfectly straight after the gold was pounded in. This project was commissioned by a good friend of General Yeager, and given to him on the day in question and thus was carried by him as once again he flew breaking the sound barrier 50 years after the first time.

A custom-made banjo by Jim Grainger. The central “blank” figures in the scrollwork are traditional patterns of the pearl inlays found on the neck.

Bulino engraving showing a Japanese Zero flying over the USS Arizona. Pink gold and yellow gold inlays create the explosions with thousands of tiny dots creating the smoke. This knife was done to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, engraved by Scott pilkington in 1991. This knife was a collaboration with knifemaker Scott Sawby.

I reproduced a Parker Invincible pattern on a shotgun for a guy. He liked it so much he had it done to a couple of his handguns.

The engraving on the bolster of this pocket knife is approximately the size of a postage stamp.
