Mark zalesky has started to put one together on the knife magazine site. In the vault section there is a list of makers including there marks going back to the 1800 it is not complete but it is the biggest collection I have seen

People's marks change so frequently that it would be a night mare to keep track of. If not simply for the reason of the makers themselves contributing.

Whatever you do - use your name. At least that way it may eventually lead back to you if someone is searching.

I agree with Karl completely - use your name on your mark or each of your marks.

You might come up with a really interesting touch-mark, but what good does it do for you if folks can't find you when they see your mark on something they like?

Thanks to all three of you, I appreciate your time in replying and apologize for the delay in my response.

I will see what I can do for putting my name in my mark, but for now I will keep using my R♥️ that I have made.

Ill look at the one registry and see what it takes, never hurts to have more than one location to make a note in.

Once again, thanks everyone for the advise.

Whatever you do - use your name

100% agree! I cannot count the number of times over the years, that people have walked into my shop, with a knife that has some strange initials on it, or an obscure "logo" and ask me.... "Do you know who made this....or can you help me find the maker....I wanna buy another knife from them" Uh... Sorry, no way in the world that anybody can find you if you're using only initials or some weird logo that means nothing to anybody...other then you. Something else to consider/think about.... if a person cannot do a quick google search with the mark/information on a knife, and find the maker, they will simply move onto another knifemaker, who is easier to find.
