Metal Etching
Knive metal etching is a new technique. It is a good way to customize knives. Knives can be engraved with anything like artwork, poems, messages, and more.
Metal etching is also a technique that is used often on knives made by Adriaan, giving 316Knives a head start since this method of customizing knives to the client specifications is not practiced by many other knife makers.
