Some objects earn a place in daily life. Engraving gives them more story.

At Vivront, we laser engrave pocket knives, kitchen knives, cutting boards, cheese boards, and select kitchen goods. We engrave names, initials, dates, short messages, and logos. Clean, precise, and done in-house. This is not just novelty personalization. It is about marking moments with tools people actually use.

What we engrave

• Pocket knives (EDC (everyday carry, groomsmen gifts, milestone gifts)
• Kitchen knives (chef’s knives, santokus, paring knives, sets and more)
• Cutting boards & cheese boards (home gifts, closing gifts, entertaining)
• Select kitchen goods (serving pieces, tools, gift items)

Why people choose engraving

• Celebrating milestones

• Leaving something behind

The best engraved gifts are useful first. The engraving simply anchors the memory.
