I'd like some opinions on this subject. It seems to me that machine cut checkering is considered somehow inferior to hand cut checkering on full custom pieces. As long as whoever is doing the machine checkering is using good sharp cutters, I would think that one is just as good as the other if done correctly. So from an end users or smiths point of view, why specify or offer hand cut checkering on a gun? This brings to mind the saying "Work smarter, not harder." What's everyone's take on this?
