I got an email today from the guy at BladeMatrix. He wants to charge us $4 for the laser engraving that Highest Honor charges $6.25. He's sent one sample already, marked "proto", which is okay, but I asked him to try another with different settings. I dunno if he's going to try to squeeze down his logo to fit the front of the blade, and whether that advertisingg is getting us a better deal.

When I get the next sample, if it looks good, I'll take it to HH and show them the invoice, and see if they want to match it.

I feel kinda hard-nosed about this, but it is our hard-earned after-tax dollars, and every cent goes back into more stuff for the troops.

Hey, I trust your judgement in this. If the BladeMatrix engraving isn't up to specs then we don't want it!

You're doing the right thing, IMO.

I trust your judgement on this. Need to send you some more of them hard earned after-tax dollars too.
