How Do I Engrave Elven Words on Blade?

[SirJediKnightTim]

Anybody know how to engrave elven letters on a knife/sword blade, like the United Cutlery blades? Like Hadhafang, and the Elven Knife of Strider?

You can take the blade to most trophy engravers, especially ones that do laser engraving, depending on the metal that your blade is made of is what
will make the difference on who can do it and what it will cost

find a good engraver and then just make up a file with what you want engraved in illustrator

I would suggest clippers.

Do you think an engraver could go deep enough?

Acid etching looks the best IMHO. But it can get expensive.

Try sandblasting. How deep you want it, some of the cheap blades are possibly chrome plate over cheap steel, you don't want to cut through the chrome then.
