looking for blades to have engraved for groomsmen gift.

Check out the spyderco bill moran drop point. It's a great fixed blade in VG10 and can be had for $85 or less.

Nothing, if you are just doing your groomsman I can do a fellow INGO a favor.

That would be awesome. Are there certain metals or finishes that work better or are not compatible?

I'll second the Endura, or Delica - with the Emerson wave. Just because I love those knives .

Looks like you may have a good thing worked out on the engraving. There have been several great options thrown out in regards to benchmade and spyderco. I like them both but find I EDC a benchmade more often. The benchmade axis lock is smooth as can be. Since you don't sound dead set on a fixed blade I would go the folder route. I only suggest this as you will probably find it more usable for your friends and they would be more inclined to carry the knife.

Anything but a high titanium blade. I have done my 154CM and D2 on my Benchmades with no problem, as well as a couple of my buddies 14C28N on their Kershaws.

We were testing titanium plates in their one day and we caught the titanium on fire so no titanium


Shoot me a PM Ill give you my number

I did this already for a couple from Bloomington a couple of years ago. They used the Army KaBar since all the grooms men and the groom all served together in the Army. They all turned out very nice. There were 9 of them.
Shoot me a PM if I can help you.
Congrats on getting married.

This is just an idea of how it will look, whatcha think?

I did a simular thing for mine. I went to Case and had custom knives made for my dad father in law and my brother. Awesome when they were finished.

A cool thing to do is get the Benchmade Griptillian, you can customize the colors for everyone too. Its a good price and a good knife. I would suggest to upgrade to the D2 steel but he 154CM is good as well.

Customize Your Griptillian

Now that is cool as hell.

The picture above is just the knives scanned in and the text put on top, it is more of a reference for him to choose a font.

The final product will actually be laser engraved, here is my BM I did a few years back.
