What to engrave?

[bthekid]

First of all Hi to all!!! I am new to the forum but have been a faithful Spyderco owner forever. The first knife my father gave to me was a Spyderco Dragonfly. He was a firefighter and swore by nothing other then Spyderco, and now so do I.

Unfortunately the first question I have to post on the forum does not have to do with Spyderco. I am looking into getting the new SOG PowerAssist multi tool, and am thinking of having something engraved in it to make it special.

I have looked on line at different engravings and seems like things that are wordy and lengthy seem to take away from the clean look of a knife. But a name or initials seems unique, yet un-original. I was thinking a very short prayer or blessing. Such as "God Speed" or "God watch over me" or even a simple yet powerful word like "Faith" or "Believe"....
I'd like to know your two cents. Feel free to chime in, just remember I'm looking for something short and sweet, so to speak ; )

THANX!!!!

How about "WISDOM, POWER, AND GRACE"

It is almost impossible to advice what someone should engrave in a knife or anything else for that matter, it is a personnal thing. I don't know you, basically I am talking to a computer so how about: Enter, Tab, Scroll?
Find something that inspires you and go from there. Open the Bible, find a psalm that inspires you and engrave that psalm #. Or the Anti-Christ or whatever you are into.
