stamp for marking blades

Where can I get a stamp made so that I can put my initials on blades? I tried etching, but didn't like it as much as I thought I would.
Thanks for your input.

If you go with a stamp you may want to consider bulding a press. Pretty simple machine with a 2 ton hydro jack. If you do not get your 1st hammer strike perfect the stamp is tough to get right. Do a little Bing or Google search. There are a few out there making them.

I 2nd OldPaths recommendation of Buckeye Engraving. My stamp is several yrs old, not showing signs of wear, and their prices are very good. Dan
