I agree. What metal plate options do you like Mike? There are some interesting ones around now.

Copper FTW!
Commercially available etchants, and resists corrosion for centuries / millenia. And not too expensive.
Any links to what you mean?
Regarding etching, any electronics hobby store should be able to sell you printable etch-resist transfer sheets, and ferric chloride etchant. You can get pure copper sheet at metal fabrication suppliers, or ebay.
Then you can use a computer to put your 12 words into a printable and possibly artistic / obscure design; print this on the transfer sheet, iron the transfer sheet onto the copper sheet, and dunk the sheet and etchant into a dish for ten minutes.
Beautiful, high-resolution result, and the copper sheet will last practically forever, even in the ground. Archeologists dig up well-preserved copper artifacts all the time after thousands of years.
Sounds pretty cool. Maybe BTC Sessions could give a tutorial. nostr:nprofile1qqspnzgrfett3asxcuj0gksje6z2zxzpvgd27uvz58m9vsuqh8zzw6cpr9mhxw309a382emdv9hzumt8w4ujumn9wsargwp58qq3vamnwvaz7tmzv46xztnwdaehgunfdshxxctdqydhwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0w3hku7gpewmsc
I bought one, I haven't got round to using it yet.
Because I didn't buy it on Amazon, I can't find the order details 😂
Here is a photo instead
You can find videos on YouTube about how to stamp your seed phrase using stainless washers. It's a good cheaper option. Much more forgiving if you mess up a word too.
I didn't use washers yet but interested to give it a go. Stamping isn't so easy as it looks though or fun
Stamping washers takes forever.the Cold Plate and punching tool from coinkite is worth the sats.
Is it better than the cheaper kits on Amazon and worth the extra?
I haven't tried Amazon kits. I like the Cold Steel because you punch the first 4 letters of each word with a tool. It's fast.
If you ever need to destroy it, punching more letters is easier than grinding steel.
