I don't really have 58mm SAKs so any one would do me fine. I know I'd have more use for one than I would an Artifact. Sebertool would work for me too.
If you loved us Dave, you'd make a custom SAK with wooden scales for us all to remember the occasion.

Here is an idea.....Everyone lets sleep on it.For my part I will make everyone that attends a paracord bracelet so that can be one legal EDC that will remind everyone that attended of what happened on that fateful day.(I know....but they are the only things I can make with any sort of skill )Anything else that springs to mind can wait until later in the week.Lets just remember the reason we are doing this as I for one do not want it to become a headache.Now we have the paracord things, the urgency will go from the task and it will become less onerous (Micky that means "causing mental as well as physical strain")Remember gang, "united in tools, divided in mementoes."

I'll think you'll my vocabulary is a tad broad
You might kill me for this, but I think (being totally honest) that the tools are a secondary reason for being there.Its a shared interest and the "togetherness" is what most of us attending will be after (almost brings a tear to my eye)

I just want to see the bright shiny things .

Wicked idea....I vote for it.I also vote that Micky d sorts it all out.....maybe during his lunchbreak
How about a fine grit one of these http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=21926&name=dmt&user_search=1&sfile=1&jump=44 the metal backing should be able to be engraved no problem
Sounds like a excellent idea. Personally I might prefer an extra fine one but I'm happy to go with the group.

Etched should work. How would the adhesive on the rough side handle the heat from a laser? Again, I don't know. Chemical etching is an option but unless you really know what you're doing you can end up with a rough looking job. What about having them printed? They will be in a pouch so there shouldn't be a problem with stuff wearing off.Neil
I'm up for the sharpener idea .

Not that i have one but i'm sure one of the Brits must have Give it a layer of laquer or something just to seal it on a bit?
