Knives and multi-tools
Blade, spine, handle scales. Black annealing removes no metal — the edge and the balance stay the same.

Describe the item and what should go on it. We will suggest the format, the material and the timing.

A knife, a multi-tool, a Zippo, a motorcycle part, a case. The thing you carry every day should be recognisably yours. We work by black annealing: no metal is removed, and the geometry and the edge stay intact.
TECHNIQUE
We work with branded items — Zippo, Victorinox, Parker. The only thing we will not apply is a luxury brand’s factory serial number on a replica.

A Zippo is one of the most frequent jobs. On a chromed case the beam opens up the base metal: the mark is light and will not rub away in a pocket.
Zippo, keyrings, carabiners, torches, cigarette cases
Covers, levers, trim, nameplates for the frame. Large panels are done in stitched passes; parts that cannot be removed are done on site.
Parts, nameplates, number-plate frames, tools
Cases, belts, wallets, holsters. On natural leather — a deep impression with a clean outline.
Cases, belts, wallets, key holders, covers
Send it in any form — vector, raster, a photo of a hand drawing. We will convert it to vector and fit it to the shape of the part; that is included in the price.
If you need volume rather than a surface mark, we cut relief to tenths of a millimetre. We work the same way with dies and stamps.
On an anodised casing the beam removes the coloured layer — the mark comes out light, so “matching the colour” is not possible. And formally any engraving affects the manufacturer’s warranty on the item.
No. On steel we use black annealing — no metal is removed, and the thickness and geometry of the blade stay the same. The edge and the balance are unaffected.
Yes, those are frequent orders. The one thing we do not do is apply or restore brands’ factory serial numbers on replica items.
On anodising the beam removes the coloured layer — the marking comes out light, and that is the working effect. A fully “colour-matched” result is not possible: we will show you a sample before we start.
We have 110, 200 and 300 mm lenses, and large panels are engraved in stitched sections. If a part cannot be removed, we can come to you.
Yes, send it in any form — vector, raster, or a photo of a hand drawing. We will vectorise it ourselves, and that is included in the price.
Formally, any engraving is an intervention in the product. We do not open the casing, but it may still affect the brand’s warranty. We warn you before the work.
