    If engraving a 1095 blade such as an ESEE, give some thought to coating that engraved area, even with something clear. Some steels, while making for great knife blades, can rust very quickly if not looked after regularly.

    Good idea! Any suggestions? Clear nail polish?
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    Sally Hansen "Tough As Nails" -from your local Target. It comes in clear and is quite durable if allowed to dry properly. I use it for various fishing applications and it holds up well to saltwater which is about has harsh as anything.
