There should be more “old softy’s” like you. I’m sure that he’s a fine young man because of how you raised him. Congratulations sir, and whatever engraving you choose will mean the world to him. Well done!

Make sure that the engraving is by hand and not by machine.
Full name with graduation date underneath in a double line block type style.

Really nice thing to do ! I’m sure he will be thrilled with it and having something unique to him makes it all the more special.

As someone else said, hand engraving tops machine or laser by a long shot in terms of quality so find someone good.

Congratulations once again !
