FAQ
Frequently asked questions about laser engraving
What does the laser engraving cost?
Personalised laser engraving costs a €10 surcharge per knife. You select it directly on the knife via the option “Laser engraving with your own text/logo”.
How many characters can I have engraved?
Up to 35 characters. That is enough for names with a date or a short personal dedication. Short texts look clearest on the blade.
Where on the knife is the engraving placed?
On the back of the blade, i.e. the side without the VOCUT logo and origin stamp. The “Solingen” marking therefore remains unchanged.
Can I choose the font or position myself?
No. Font, size and position of the engraving are set by VOCUT. This way every engraving looks clean and consistent and suits the blade. Other positions and fonts are unfortunately not possible.
Can I have my logo engraved?
Yes. Select “Laser engraving with your own text/logo”, enter “Logo follows by email” in the text field and send your logo to info@vocut.de after ordering. Clear, single-colour logos as a vector file (SVG, PDF, EPS) or as a high-resolution PNG work best.
How long does delivery take with engraving?
Laser engraving adds 2–4 working days of processing time; in total it is typically 4–7 working days. For birthdays, weddings and the run-up to Christmas, it is best to plan in some buffer.
Is the engraving permanent?
Yes. Laser engraving permanently changes the surface of the blade. It does not fade and survives washing and sharpening.
Can I still change the engraving text after ordering?
Not once production has started. If you notice a mistake, get in touch immediately by email at info@vocut.de or by phone at +49 157 39046351.
Can I return an engraved knife?
Individually engraved knives are excluded from the right of withdrawal and from the voluntary 60-day returns, except in the case of a defect or if VOCUT made a mistake, for example a wrong engraving. In that case you will receive a return label. The statutory warranty of course still applies.
Which VOCUT knives can I have engraved?
Many knives with olive wood handles, including chef’s knife, Santoku, Nakiri, Kiritsuke, bread knife, steak knife and BBQ knife. You can find all engravable knives in the category “Knives with personalised laser engraving”.
Is an engraved knife a good gift?
Yes. A good knife is used every day, and with a name or date it becomes a personal keepsake, for example for a wedding, a housewarming or for BBQ fans.
