How to Put a Logo on Knife Blade : Laser Engraving
The point of this project is to engrave a logo on a knife blade.
So you'll need :
- A knife
- A logo
- A laser cutter/engraver ( Here it's a TROTEC SPEEDY 300, 60W )
- A can of THERMARK or CerMark Spray
Make Sure Your Blade Is Ready for Engraving
It has to be down to its final finish, otherwise you'll peel off the logo.
Protect Your Handle
You don't want the thermark spray to cover the wood of your handle ( maybe you could wipe it off easily, but i don't wish to try.)
Clean the Blade
You may use acetone (please wear gas mask and gloves)
Spray the Blade
Not too thick.
The can needs a few minutes of shaking before use
Engrave the Blade
I was extra cautious making the blade horizontal in X and Y directions in the laser cutter.
Then fired it at 1000DPI (metal has extremely high engraving fidelity) and using the metal preset in JobControl
Wipe the Excess, Admire.
This is it !
