Engraving the blade of a SAK

[auspx]

I want to engrave my name and birthdate onto the blade of my SwissChamp. What tools should I use?

A pencil or maybe a Sharpie. Seriously why?

A pencil or maybe a Sharpie. Seriously why?

Because a SwissChamp is so awesome that everyone wants to borrow (i.e. steal) it. But who wants to own something that's easily identifiable as a stolen item? Think of it as an insurance policy.

Talk to a local trophy shop or possibly jeweler that does engraving. Depending on the exacty equipment they have, they should be able to do a very nice looking job for not too much money.

For new knives, swissknivesexpress.com will do blade etching.

Try a local jeweler.

dont lend it out-seriously-over the years ive learned
and-use a clip or lanyard

an SAK isnt so expensive that someone cant buy thier own

since the blade will be marked, if its stolen

-that means that only if yours is missing and someone else is silly enough to carry it back to work or around you-and open it to show the blade- will you be able to id it as your ex-seems to be an unlikely situation

but better than digging into the scales
