Engraving Knives?

[celticpride2133]

So I really like titanium frame lock knives but want a little uniqueness! The sebenza graphics I have seen so far look cheesy and very computer generated. So what I'm looking for is advice from someone who has tried engraving their sebenza or other titanium knife with a dremel or other tool. Can it be done and look nice? thanks

I have no idea how to engrave Ti easily but here is something to shoot for, I believe it was done by someone on here.

Most good engraving is expensive because it is a time consuming project.

And that's usually without even factoring in the added difficulties/tool wear that engraving most Ti alloys entails.

Actually, it's really easy to order a custom engraving from CRK. I've done it twice, just send them a pic of what you want with colors and they'll make it for you. If I remember right it cost about an extra $150 to set up. If you order several knives with the same engraving then that cost is spread over the knives. I wouldn't try it with a dremmel, but that's just me.
