Thread: Laser Etching?

Hi Guy's

Has anyone out there had a blade laser etched??

Do you have pictures on how it turned out?

Would you do it again?

and if you don't mind what was the cost?

I'll see if I can't talk the instructor into letting me do one at school. Any ideas on a design? It'll be worthless as a collectible afterwards.

I don't have any idea on a design at the moment i am still in the research stage. I was just curious if any one has had this done or not.

What type of course you taking?

Mechanical/Electrical Technology. I'm sure someone's done it before, but I'm not sure that person would say so, or if they'd even be on the forum. Honestly I hope it doesn't work, cause I don't want new etches on old blades out there for sale.

Good point, but it might be neat to have your name etched into your favorite and have something of yours for the kids to either enjoy, tear up, or poop off after you're gone.

I was thing to have the original patern put back on the blade after it has been restored

It's been talked about before on the forum. Search it and you'll see what some have done. One guy did up a W&B with it's original acid etch using some sort of laminate paper cutter machine. Pretty cool, but as you can see, beyond my depth. But I'm with you. Waiting for someone who's done it to chime in and tell us all about it.

I can Laser etch the scales and lay down permanent marks on the blades. If there is some interest I can post a couple of pics as soon as Larry returns one I have there for honing.

I ask about this a while back and was told that a certain type of laser was needed. I can't remember what type it was. What type of laser do you have I have 7 razors of the same Make and want the days of the week on the spine.

Can you post some pictures for us to see?

If i do decide to do this i would rather give my business to a fellow member and enthusiast!
