Custom Engraving

Want to make your knife truly your own? Our custom engraving service adds a distinctive flair to every blade we craft. Whether you wish to inscribe a name, a quote, or a special date, we can etch it directly onto the steel—transforming an exceptional knife into something unforgettable.
At our small workshop, we mix old-school craftsmanship with today’s precision tools. Each Damascus blade already has a one-of-a-kind pattern, but engraving lets you take it a step further. Just check the engraving box when you pick your knife, type in your message, and choose your favorite font. We keep it short and sweet—there’s a character limit to make sure the design stays clean and sharp.

Our skilled team takes real pride in the details. Every knife is engraved by hand, with care and respect for the steel’s natural pattern. It’s more than merely inserting text; it's about shaping a story. From start to finish, we’ll walk you through the process so you can create something that feels personal, meaningful, and ready to pass down for generations.

Make It Yours: Your Knife, Your Story

Your knife should say something about you. Whether it’s a gift for someone close or a piece you’ll carry for life, a personalized engraving adds meaning that lasts far beyond the blade itself. We’ve seen people engrave everything from family crests to anniversaries, initials, and even simple symbols that carry big stories. Whatever speaks to you—we’re here to help bring it to life.

The Perfect Presentation

A custom knife is already a special gift—but wrapping it the right way makes it even more unforgettable. If you’re gifting your engraved blade, just check the “Gift Wrapping” box at checkout. We’ll take care of the rest. Your knife will arrive carefully wrapped in eco-friendly materials, tucked into a keepsake box that’s designed to protect the blade—and make the unboxing moment feel just as meaningful.

Corporate & Group Gifting Made Personal

Looking for a gift that people will actually remember—and keep? Our custom engraved Damascus knives are a unique way to say thanks, celebrate a milestone, or mark a special occasion.
We’ve worked with companies, wedding parties, retirement groups, bachelor weekends—you name it. Whether you’re honoring a teammate, thanking a client, or surprising a best man, a personalized blade turns the moment into something meaningful.

Our Dedication to Excellence

We are very proud of our craftsmanship and stand by it wholeheartedly. Every knife we provide features our craftsmanship guarantee, so you can order from us with complete assurance. If your knife arrives and fails to meet your expectations, you can return it within 30 days provided as long as it has not been used.
One important thing to note: we can’t accept returns on knives that have custom engraving. Once a blade is personalized with your initials or message, it’s yours.
That said, if there's ever an issue with the craftsmanship or the steel itself—even on a personalized knife—we’ll make it right. Our warranty covers all Damascus steel blades against any defects.
To keep your engraving looking sharp over time, just clean it gently with mild soap and a soft cloth. Skip any harsh chemicals that might dull the finish. Most of our customers say their custom engravings still look great even after years of use—and we’re proud of that.

Common Questions About Engraving

How long will the engraving last on my Damascus knife?

Our laser engravings go deep enough into the steel to last a lifetime. As long as you take good care of your knife, your custom design will stay clear and sharp for years—even as the blade itself develops its own unique character over time.

It is advisable to wash it with hands using warm water and a little mild soap, then dry it quickly. Refrain from using a dishwasher, as it is too harsh and could damage both the engraving and the steel. Every so often, rub on a bit of food-safe mineral oil to protect the blade and keep everything looking its best.

Almost! We can do text, symbols, and simple line art really well. Just keep in mind that super detailed images (like photos or very tiny designs) might not turn out clearly, especially on smaller knives. Also, we place your design in a way that works with the natural Damascus pattern—not against it—for the best look.

For most text-only engravings, we’re done in about 2–3 business days after you approve the design. If you’ve got a more detailed custom request, it might take 5–7 days.
