HISE HAND ENGRAVING
Knives

Knives have historically been engraved to mark ownership in a way that can be seen immediately. I’m proud to say that recently a person correctly recognized my art on an engraved knife and asked if it was a Hise knife…it’s nice to be recognized together.

“Where the hand goes, the eyes follow; where the eye goes, the mind follows; where the mind goes, the heart follows, and thus is born expression.” - Sanskrit writing

Putting talent and flair, customized and personal pieces aside for a minute, let’s talk the basics here … I engrave mostly precious metals like gold, sterling, platinum, pewter, brass and copper. I also engrave steel, aluminum, wood, glass and can do scrimshaw in ivory, bone, antler and shell.

I pride myself on accuracy and efficiency in custom engraved personalized custom jewelry, firearms, knives, motorcycles, commemorative pieces, personalized gifts and just about anything you can think of. I can create an heirloom and duplicate existing hand engraving to match or expand flatware sets and silver services as well as restore older or damaged pieces to look like new.

bio John Hise
 
Ever since I can remember I wanted to do something creative with my libiofe. From high school and majoring in art ‘til now, I am motivated by a calling. A passion. This life infatuation was born from the medium of hand engraving, and honed by the discipline I learned from martial arts.

This commissioned dragonfly piece was very important to my client. So, while I created the outward appearance, he gave it inner significance. Isn’t that the true aim of commissioned art?

 

Rocky's Custom Collars
...and more tooled leather

Ginger, my wife does leather engraving.

Together, we design personalized dog collars, as well as other custom engraved leather work and "bling" for dogs. Our dog, Rocky, gets a lot of the benefit from our ideas. It's fun to see him respond to collar "modeling"...he's got a gift, I'm not the only one taking orders anymore.

Rocky is wearing his big, bad spike collar here.
