Goat, I am not sure about the Salyans. My guess is they will have the engraving but when I try to outguess the kamis they usually make me wrong.
We recently made an 18 inch WWII for ghostsix which had custom engraving per sketch both sides, including his name inscribed on the blade in Devanagari. This was the most complex engraving assignment we have had to date and I'd rate the outcome at about 95%. Ghostix, would you agree?
