I have tried electrochem etching, turbo carver with hand initials, stamping, having jewelers engrave them. Electrochem did not work well or consistently on Damascus, turbo carver (with my handwriting nah), Stamping was not neat enough, jewelers have become too expensive $35 per knife. I just purchased my own flat engraver and will be marking my name with that. it looks as good as any jeweler and I don't have to wait or pay for the service.
