I had a lower engraved at House of Blades earlier this morning and they did excellent work. There was a little confusion initially but that got sorted out quickly and all was well. The engraver brought out an example of the work before starting on the lower and I really appreciated that. A few pointers if you want to use HofB for engraving:
- Call and make an appointment rather than just showing up. One reason is that you have to stay there while the work is being done.
- The people working in the store are all young and suffer from direct-person-discomfort so be patient. They try really hard and things get sorted out.
