GREG
Hand Engraving
Greg is a highly experienced engraver who has worked at some of the leading gunmakers. He started his apprenticeship J.Purdey&Sons in 1997, spending five years learning his art under master engravers Paul Chung and Martin Smith. He then served for ten years as a full time hand engraver at Purdeys, working on their highly prized guns. With his skills much in demand Greg then set himself up independently and has been working for other respected gunmakers including Rigby & Co, Williams & Son and Watson Brothers, as well as hand engraving custom guitars. He is now applying his formidable skills to the blades of our knives. Look out for his own personal engraver’s mark discreetly featured in all his work.
