Flask sources

[Nostinkingbadges]

I’ve been asked to engrave a pocket flask for my daughter’s wedding. Thankfully, it is not until a year from now. Pricing sterling and copper ones, I think we will choose stainless steel. Does anybody have any suggestions regarding sources that are not rock hard? I make many western buckles, etc. in soft steel, brass, nickel, copper with occasional sterling. My skill level is advanced beginner/ serious hobbyist.

just a guess here. try googling wedding suppliers. never know what is available on the net or the bay. i;d think most any article like that in ss could be engraved.

I cut a stainless flask for my son a few years back, filled it with water to dampen the vibrations, due to it being food grade stainless it was hard, that said, the project turned out acceptable.

I have made a few flasks out of sterling, lot a work, not cheap.

Plan on most stainless flasks being very tough as they are usually food grade stainless.
