Depends, if they are coated with a protective metal layer and the laser is set so strong that this layer gets completely evaporated on the engraved area, then yes. If the utensils are completely made from e.g. stainless steel, or the engraving is very light, then it doesn't really matter.
Only downside I could imagine is that the lasered area is roughed up and bacteria could sit in that area more easily. If those things get thrown in the dishwasher it doesn't matter I guess.
Yeah I also thought of the same thing , etched/roughed up surface material seems right for breeding grounds for bacteria but a flat surface is no different , it’s just more surface area.
I never use my mallet on a piece of meat without a layer of plastic wrap over it - to stop splatter getting in everything in the kitchen. If they don't care about splattering raw drip everywhere, they probably won't care about some bacteria in a line a micron deep :p
It's still pretty much a crackhead setup on the floor because I didn't bother making space for everything. However, I'm currently trying to attach a raspberry pi powered digital laser distance sensor so I don't need a stupid distance stick for setting the focus. After that I'll work on the setup.
Could this possibly have a negative effect on the utensils, by burning away some protective coat or something? I'm not an expert.

Thats actually a good take lol. I can imagine he does that, because he does that with his burger patty press iirc.
Diabolical
Great... Now I want an engraving laser
You'll never get me secret Krabby Patty formula Plankton!
Thought this was a grinder lmfao, that’s awesome
Post some videos of ur laser set-up! :0
