Thread: Spine Etching,Engraving or Lasered??????

I have 7 of the same type of razors I want to get the days of the week Etched ,Engraved or done with a Laser. Can someone point me in the general direction of who or where I can have this done Thanks.

Most good Jewelry shops can actually do the engraving find one that actually has the old guy sitting in the back room doing the hands on work

send a PM to Tim/oldblades and ask about laser work

The most common and also more affordable laser engravers on the market use a CO2 laser which enables you to mark steel only with a special metal marking spray. To engrave in the steel you need a laser that uses a YAG laser which has a much shorter wavelength (1.064 microns) compared to CO2. They usually start at $30.000. Not your typical hobby laser.

Nahhhh...ya can pick up a used YAG (we call em VAG's because of there use for errr vaginal applications!) for ~5-$600
But they will take your eyes out before you even know its turned on!

You can double em up to 532nm and get a serious green laser pointer

Anyway I digress.

Slightly on topic, I have a TI Historic collection Straight that appears to be etched/lased rather then the more traditional stamped/struck logo on the tang?

Have they gone all modern on us over in France?
