Engraving an axe
Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice. My best mate turned 50 this year and so I've bought him a Granfors Bruk Forrest axe.
I'd like to get it engraved but I'm not sure if engraving works on this type of steel.
I'm not keen to just take it down to an engraver only to find they made a mess of it because it's not an easy steel to engrave.
So to all the smart people here, can I expect to get this axe engraved and for it to look great?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: For anyone out there who does engraving AND does a good job, I'm happy to hear from you. PM me.

I once had a drop forged spanner engraved for my wife, so I can't see why an axe head would cause issues. Ask.
