is the writing engraved?

I think it might be laser-etched. It isn't deeply stamped or anything, but there is a texture to it like something that has been laser-etched. Whatever it is, it seems to last. I ordered these and the progressive magnetic set at the same time, and the printed ink on the progressive set (which to be fair was half the price of the CIA set) has worn completely off my most used spoons since May 2012 when I got them. These look brand new.

It is some sort of etching, but doesn't cause an impression or depression into the metal.

No, the writing is not engraved. The finish is matte and then printed on the metal. Mine still look the same as I got them. I hand wash and put in the dishwasher.

I bought this set for my mother. I just asked her your question...yes. Engraved and painted. She loves the set -- and she was picky about what she would get. So stop worrying now, go buy it and enjoy! :-)

Yes they are engraved and looks just like one. Its fairly close I lived there so I have a real one and this was for a friend but it looks good

While most of our items can be engraved, we are not able to offer that service. You would have that added locally. Thanks!

The two I ordered appear to be engraved. At any rate, the printing is nice and deep, so it won't rub off for a very long time, if ever.

I engraved mine. Things Remembered won't do it, but if you go to a trophy shop or something similar, they can engrave them.

Hello, I am sorry but we don't do any engraving. You can bring it to an outside company and they can engrave it for you. Thanks

Yes, it should be able to be engraved. Although it depends on what kind of metal it is.

It's engraved in the case on the back of the upper right hand corner and is pretty small. Not very noticeable.

I did not have mine engraved but the engraving probably would show up as shiney metal agains the dark and look very nice.

Sorry I honestly don't know the answer to that. I think you would have to ask someone who does the engraving.

Hi sorry about the delay in answering. It is only engraved on the left side. Hope this helps.

Yes,I have seen Moscow Mule Copper Mugs that are engraved. I would contact your local engraver to be sure.

If it's a counterfeit, it's a really good one. One way to tell (so I've read) is the lettering on the genuine one is engraved and the counterfeit ones are just stenciled. The one I received is engraved.
