All of my work here is priced by materials + time spent. I do not ascribe any value (real or perceived) to anything you see here. I price my custom work the same way. Please feel free to contact me for a custom piece. You may either contact me through Etsy or email me at darren [!at] MetalManiacArt.com

*If you have a weapon (or any other weapon parts) that you would like embellished please contact me directly at darren [!at] MetalManiacArt.com. I have an FFL (Federal Firearm License) so shipping is no problem via UPS or FedEx . Make sure the firearm or knife is packed well, with all your contact info included, ship it insured. I charge by time spent + materials, so I can easily work within your budget to do as little or as much as you'd like to dress it up.

A lot of what I create is art with a purpose; Hand Engraving* metal objects. The objects I engrave are functional art if you will. So whether it's a flask, a knife or what have you, it's more than a flask or a knife. It's a one of a kind carving/sculpture with a flask, knife or what have you for a canvas... a personal piece of art that has a purpose. (Disclaimer: my description of my work is in no way meant to ascribe a quality of artistic measure to my work that may or may not exist :)

**The Art of Hand Engraving can be described as the process in which a hardened, shaped, and sharpened piece of steel, called a 'Graver', is pushed through the metal's surface. This is done with one of three methods: by hand pressure (push graver), with a small lightweight hammer and chisel (graver), or with a pneumatic air-driven hammer.
