Bring what you already own — we engrave it

You do not have to buy anything from us. Bring the object that already means something to you: the watch from your grandfather, the glass from that holiday, the knife you use every day. We look at it with you and engrave it while you wait — usually in 5 to 15 minutes, without an appointment.

Yes, we can almost certainly engrave your item

Most providers in Vienna only engrave what they sell themselves — or they accept outside objects by appointment and after a review. We do it the other way round: you walk in with your item, we look at it together, and in the vast majority of cases we engrave it straight away.

That works because we are a real shop with a workshop behind it. There is someone at the counter who can pick your item up and judge it. No upload form, no ticket system, no reply within two working days.

The engraving itself usually takes less than five minutes. Including advice and layout you are normally out again within 5 to 15 minutes.

Will it work on my item?

There are practically no material limits. What matters is almost always the size, not the material: height or diameter up to 15 cm, engraving area 20 × 20 cm per pass. Larger designs are combined from several passes.

Only the height counts: a 60 cm cutting board is no problem, a 20 cm vase is. We regularly engrave glass, wood, metal, leather, stone, slate and ceramics — plus a range of special materials.

Not sure whether your item works? Send us a photo on WhatsApp. We will usually tell you within minutes whether it can be done — before you make the trip. Prefer to call? +43 677 61031496, and we answer the phone ourselves.

  • Hab ein Schneidebrett gravieren lassen und bin wirklich begeistert vom Ergebnis. Die Gravur war innerhalb von etwa 10 Minuten fertig – richtig top, vor allem weil mir andere Anbieter eine Wartezeit von 2–3 Wochen genannt hatten. Die Beratung war super freundlich und kompetent, und man hat sofort gemerkt, dass der Herr seinen Job mit Leidenschaft macht.

  • Ich hab bei Dreizack zwei Uhren für eine Hochzeit gravieren lassen und bin unglaublich zufrieden. Ich hatte vorab schon mehrfach Kontakt per Telefon und WhatsApp, dieser war immer sehr schnell, freundlich und unkompliziert. Vor Ort hat die Gravur nur wenige Minuten gedauert, ich wurde gut beraten und die Durchführung war auch super.
