Hello. I'm having the handle of my Bradley Alias II laser-marked with a large design:



(Similar design on the back)

Of course I'm biting my nails about how well it's going to turn out. Obviously it can't match the image perfectly, but does anyone have any experience with Benchmade's laser-marking service when it comes to big designs or logos?

I have never done it. I have also never seen a poorly engraved knife from Benchmade. I just don't think they would let one leave the factory that way.

Welcome Mendoza, that pattern would be interesting if they'd agree to do it for you...sure take care of the scuffing issue most Ti framelocks have after awhile in the pocket!

That's part of what I was thinking when I sent it in. Asked for it back by the 14th so....

Just wanted to show off the results. My experience with their laser-marking department turned out to be excellent.
PLEASE NOTE: The picture doesn't quite do it justice. Something about the material in direct sun makes it look "softer" than it really is. The design turned out nice and sharp. Definitely worth my $5 + shipping.



*edit* different light:

Bradley Alias II

Glad you liked how it turned out. The material gave a very neat look when it burned. It was a lot of fun to do. We have talked about lasermarking handle designs for a while but this makes us want to do more. Thanks again!

Welcome Ryan! Another BM partner joins in. I have a request: Can you provide any examples of laser-marking you guys have done so far? That would be cool to see, if it's possible to do.
