Enjoy
From 1989 to 2002 I was a wholesale distributor in the knife business. We had thousands of knives laser etched for special orders. I can tell you on steel it is very very difficult to sand down a blade to remove laser etching. Maybe aluminum is easier. That's why lasers are used in etching because they are cheap in large runs and very permanent. Good luck
