Engraved steak knives?

November 14, 2006 11:03 AM

Where can I buy a set of nice steak knives and have them engraved?

I want to get a set of knives (6 or 8) and have them engraved with "DAR". I have found these two places:

http://www.jumbosteakknives.com/
which seems a bit too commercial, but is a possibility

http://www.xikar.com/product_608.asp
which I think is too pricey.

I am hoping for something in the $40-$70 range.

If just buying a set of knives and then having them engraved is the best option, where should I have them engraved? Madison WI or online/mail-in recommendations are best. If that is what I plan to do, should I then only think about getting knives with metal handles? Or would wood still be okay?

Cutco will engrave your knives, and the box they come in. I think you can only buy them door-to-door and by phone, but they are without a doubt the best knives I have ever used.

I might recommend you buy a really fine set of knives, and have them engraved by a pro. I'll put in a plug for my favorite cutler.
