These are listed as Stainless Steel. I'm thinking maybe Fiber Engraved? It doesn't look like drag & I'm told they are not anodized. Anyone have an idea what process would have been used?

If I had to guess, it would be fiber or yag.

I would say fibre or maybe a chemical etch then grain finish, need a slightly closer photo to be sure

My guess is either YAG or water jet. Hard to see in the photo if there are any tell tale marks.

just double click photo for blow up. Ebay description just describes scratch resistant stainless Hong Kong...

My bet is for chemical etching. YAG or fiber doesn't make any sense for mass production.

A Google image search turns up a bunch of photos that are completely identical to this, except for the "engraved" logo. It's likely that each of these logos have been photoshopped on, so it probably won't work to guess from their appearance what process the seller uses.

^^^ What Matt said. They're reusing the same photo, adding in
an image to make it look engraved.
(not a bad Photoshop job, either)
