    Summary

    As a fan of "Dad" jokes, I thought I would explore the use of different materials with the P2 laser in a fun way. Engraving "butter" on a stainless steel table knife adds some humor to an otherwise utilitarian item. The end product could be a fun conversation starter or just a quirky personalization that brings a smile to its user.

    Stainless Steel Table Knife
    Sourced from the local dollar store, any table knife will do. To be able to engrave on metal, this type of laser requires a spray (the laser burns the spray into the metal). I used "Rust-oleum" cold galvanizing compound, can be found at a hardware store.
