Hell4leather launching a new engraved bat.

Thoughts on this? No doubting it looks immense.

Would a brand new red cherry just flatten all this lovely engraving?

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

That's lovely - I especially like the way they've managed to make the engraving look modern and therefore completely different to Willostix's retro style...

As I said on CIF, the big sticker manufacturer have invested in a new laser engraver and I expect engraved bats to feature in a number of companies ranges.

Looks great, as I mentioned on twitter - I think a cherry may flatten some of this work though.

Love the look, but the practical side of it is different - it would be hard to get you bat 'refurbed' I guess.

Sorry to say that I don't think it really works. I am happy to be in the minority and say that this is one place where the sticker approach looks a lot better, especially with the branding that H4L has.

The iconographical approach with the chrome and black devil against the coloured flames of hell is completely lost on the two tone engraving. I don't think the branding stands out anywhere near as clearly and the clever and completely unobvious detailing is lost by the simple fact that you only have two colours.

I'm sure most disagree with me though. I prefer the stickers.

I'm with Tim, the subtle, signature style on the Anaconda is ok, but this looks a bit too much to me. Prefer the stickers.
