The brief

A knife is a fitting trophy for a barbecue competition. Paudin Benelux wanted three different knives personalised for first, second and third place.

Each blade offers a different amount of space. The series needed a consistent identity while also fitting the artwork onto the smaller knife.

Our approach

SDLG adapted the position of the Werner BBQing logo and text to each blade. The placing differs on each knife; the shared event name and date connect the three designs.

The two larger knives provide more width than the smaller third knife. The artwork was therefore scaled individually to suit each available engraving area.

The engraving was applied to the blades. The project photograph presents the three knives together, showing both the different sizes and the consistent design.

The result

The three Paudin knives became personalised competition trophies for 1st Place, 2nd Place and 3rd Place. Their engravings record the placing and occasion.

Engraved knives require consideration of the blade shape, surface finish and available area. A suitable layout responds to those characteristics.

Can every knife take the same size engraving?

Not always. The shape and usable blade area determine an appropriate size.

Can a knife be engraved as a personal trophy?

Yes. This series combines a logo, placing, event name and date. We assess your knife and artwork in advance.
