Lee Griffiths

Lee Griffiths is an internationally recognized award winning hand engraver. Lee started engraving with tools he fashioned from chunks of steel and a broken hammer in 1997. His passion for engraving and extraordinary artistic talent quickly led to recognition by the Firearms Engravers Guild of America (“FEGA”) as a Master Engraver in 1999. By 2002, Lee was teaching regular courses for engraving and artistic design.

Lee’s work has continued to be praised by his peers. He has won the prestigious “Engravers Choice” award three times at the FEGA Annual Exhibition (2007, 2010 and 2011) along with many “Best of Show” categories and awards of merit.

Much sought for his commissioned work on firearms and collectible knives, Lee’s creative scrollwork, wildlife scenes and exquisite precious metal inlays are known worldwide for their beauty and innovation. When not engraving, Lee enjoys teaching and writing about engraving to preserve and promote the art he loves.
