Engraving almite?

[mundele]

I was wondering if anyone has seen an engraved almite knife handle. Seems to me that this would look nice since the silver aluminum underneath would be exposed when the almite coating was removed during engraving. Would this work? Would bare aluminum stay nice and shiny, or would it get dull and tarnished?

Hi Matt. On the lazer engvraver, the lazer removes the almite and leaves aluminum underneath. It's more of a dull aluminum finish. It looked ok, we did some Lum Chinese folders for a local organization.

I figured it might look dull (like plain ole aluminum)

Thanks for the info...
