Up for auction is a custom made / hand engraved Spyderco guitar pick.
A few weeks ago I engraved and sold a small spyderco honeybee knife with hand engraved scroll work and gold inlay. Seeing the interest from the collectors, I decided to make something unique for the spydie who has everything.
This guitar pick was hand made from a nickel/copper alloy commonly called "Nickel Silver" or "German Silver". I prefer it to sterling as the sterling can begin to tarnish quickly from the hand oils that come into contact with it throughout the engraving process. I have included captioned photos in this listing that explain the process somewhat. All inlay work was hand done with pure gold wire (999 24k). Pure gold is so malleable that it can be mechanically cold-set into metal with a system of undercuts and raised teeth, as is the tradition of fine knife and firearm engraving.
Thanks for your interest. Please view the photos and let me know if you have any questions or comments.
