English term or phrase: burn
12 Screwdriver & 3 plier
contents:
12pcs screwdrivers
Cr-v steel, mat finished, black/blue grip ***with burn***
“Normfest” logo/art no./size
4-slotted 3.0x75mm, 4.0x100mm, 5.5x125mm, 6.5x150mm

Wer kann mir bei dem markierten Textteil helfen? Es handelt sich hier um einen Auszug aus einem Werkzeugkatalog. Mehr Kontext habe ich leider nicht - nur eine Abbildung, auf der blau-schwarze Griffe erkennbar sind. Aber keinerlei Hinweise auf "burns".
Vielen Dank

agree  Kim Metzger: I think so. BRANDING process uses a heated die to burn your logo into the surface. http://www.bizgifts.com/business_gift_decoration_definit.htm

burned-in ?


Explanation:
'burn' by itself is 'Brandstelle' or 'Verbrennung' which wouldn't make sense here.
'Burr' would be the wrong word, because 'burr' (Grat) are created by filing, cutting, sawing etc.;
if 'Riffelung' is meant, it would be 'ribbing'
if 'Rillen' is meant, it should be 'groove' (which does not seem to make much sense)
I would put a note in the translation saying that the English does not seem to make any sense and leave it for the customer to sort out.
