Not my work. I have enough trouble getting the lead sharp.

 Those are over the top Bill. I had to look twice to see if they were really carved from the lead in the pencil.

  I don't think you saw something on the saw Bill Sawyer. Click on the brown foto ID and then enlarge the picture. It has a date 2008 inscribed on the blade.  %^@

Bill,
  Actually I did see it. I had them in my photo resizing program so I could make them fit in here. I don't have any data as to who did them - my brother emailed them to me. There were several more that I didn't post.

  I went back and tried to read all of what is etched on it. The month of May is there with 2008 and some other wording/numbers and at the end it appears to may be be a couple of letters - maybe a signature (Initials) but it is fuzzy.

 Whoever it was has been blessed with the steadiest hands in the world. The slightest bit of pressure and it's all over.

 ;D Personally, a #2 and a decent left over school daze hand crank sharpener has served me well over the years...except for for the smudge marks.......lefty trait! H^^
