Custom engraving on a sword or dagger

We engrave in our workshop in France. When the item to be personalized is in stock, the engraving time is one to two working days, giving a delivery time of 4 to 5 working days. This period starts from the moment you approve the draft production sheet.

The engraving project is defined once the order has been validated. Our technical department then contacts you, usually by e-mail, to gather the information we need to propose an engraving project. Once the project has been validated, it is sent to the workshop for production.

As part of the process of foaming an engraving project, we select the typeface to be used. We currently offer some sixty fonts for European-language texts.

The answer depends on the design in question. Indeed, the quality of the image supplied can make engraving difficult or impossible. The laser engraves in black and white. There is no color or grayscale. What's more, the resolution of the image to be engraved must be sufficient for engraving. For 300 DPI (300 dots per inch) resolution, the image must be at least 1,181 pixels for an engraving length of 10 cm.

The focal plane of our laser is 150 x 150 mm. In other words, an engraving cannot exceed 150 mm in its longest dimension. Longer engravings are possible, but will require two engraving services, for example, if the length is between 150 and 300 mm.
The surface available may also limit the size of the engraving. Some blades have one or two grooves, which may limit the surface available for engraving.

It is possible to engrave on both sides. However, you need to add two engraving services to your basket to validate the double personalization service.
