Bright safety orange is hard to lose in the woods, and this folding knife wears it on the whole handle. What makes it Custom Knife #64 is the marking: a bold “#64” laser-etched into the orange scale beneath a small angular emblem, left as clean dark lines against the color. The blade is a satin,…

A dark walnut-toned buttstock makes a handsome backdrop for this Lions Club engraving. The emblem dominates the side of the stock: the bold “L” inside the ring, two lion heads looking outward, the word “International” curving around the circle, and “Tollesboro, KY” lettered underneath on a slight arc.

The lettering runs in bold block capitals down the left side of the brick, deep enough to read easily against the rough…
