I will be making 4 matching pens for a group of guys who all worked on a project together. I'm leaning toward the Triton kit, with matching segmented blanks. I've made a few Tritons and really like them. Just enough elegance, but not too much bling. However, I'd like to engrave these four…on the metal, not the wooden body. I was thinking about engraving on the clip. But the Triton kit has a shaped clip, not flat. I'm concerned that may present an engraving challenge.
I'd like to engrave the first name and the number (e.g. "1 of 4"). The longest name is 8 letters. If I don't have enough space, I may consider initials instead of the names.
My question is whether the Triton clip can be engraved dependably? If so, who could do it well? If not, is there a kit of similar style/quality that's better for engraving? Also, is there a better idea for engraving than the clip (e.g. cap or band)? I know I don't want to engrave the wooden body/cap, I want to engrave the metal. If I go w/ the Triton, it will be the Triton convertible, chrome with upgold accents.
Thanks for any suggestions.
