(secret recipe)
There are immense design
possibilities available today that can be etched into your knives. They are
limited only by your imagination and the available space on your knife. If you
have a clear black and white image that you want to etch into your knife like
your initials, your logo, your name and location or a design that you have on
your mind, you can do it and I’ll be glad to help you get it done.
The electro-chemical etching process provides you with an opportunity to
personalize the knife you have created with your customers name or initials. You
can provide the service free to your customer or you can charge for it. It is a
great addition to your custom knife especially for birthdays, anniversaries,
gifts, retirement, husbands, wives, sons, and daughters etc.
Getting your artwork to me is as easy as the Post Office down the street or you
can email it to me. Communicating an idea is as easy as a quick phone
call, 407-568-5438.
Examples
Expected Number of Etchings
Occasionally I am asked about how many etchings can be expected from one image. Below is 24 that I did on a sheet of stainless steel. The stencil image is below and I'm sure you could make another 24 and up. That having been said you can ruin the stencil image in one try with too much heat. I am totally responsible for the poor picture taking and image alignment.
Additional Needed Information
I will need the size you want. Figure out the height and width that you want each image to be. When deciding on the size of the image be sure and leave some room to align the image on your knife.
I will also need your shipping address.
