Working with my carving tools just wondering how many of you mark your tools with either your name or some unique identifier.
I know cops always say mark your stuff makes it easier to identify if recovered or found in pawn shops, i was not thinking of that purpose but just a general purpose maybe for hand down purposes, like #1 xyz is to be sent to so and so.
Over the years i have been thinking more and more of what happens to my tools when i one day croak.
I would sooner see them go to people i feel would value them than have my own family have an auctioneer come in or do as they did to some of my tools while i was away on an extended business trip once and outright abuse them because they did not know about the proper use for the tool.
Not thinking here of cheapo screwdrivers more things like wwing hand tools such as say gouges , shaves, or planes (not that i have many planes to worry about).
So do you guys mark a new tool religiously or not bother , name or just a fancy marking?
