David was awesome. He took me back into the shop and worked with me to get a knife engraved. It turned out great and the whole process was quick and very reasonablypriced. I'll definitely be back for more work!

We had the absolute best experience with Patriot Laser Engraving. Took my husbands kimber 1911 to have it engraved. He sat down with us and explained to us the process, showed us where what would go. We left confident that it would be done well. Two weeks later it was done. Went to pick it up today and man were we surprised. The pics don’t even do it justice. The owner has a gift for sure. The kimber is a gorgeous gun but now it is a piece of art. Looked so good I left my kimber micro 9 with him. He already called and my kimber is ready. We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Definitely will be back with other guns and highly recommend patriot Laser engraving

I had some items I needed engraved to stay within the regulations for making them short. This place is the real deal. He knows the law and the regulations and will make sure your piece is 100% proper. The scale of his operation and the pieces he has done is simply amazing. I will bring all my items here to get professionally engraved. I spent some time there, it was a leisurely Saturday morning, as he showed me the shop and I got to watch the machines work, they are amazing. We ended up chatting about all kinds of things and he showed me several pieces he was working on. All around great guy and a fantastic local resource and local business!

It was a very professional experience! I will definitely be taking all of my future projects to him! Thank you again David! #Jason

I am a new customer of Dave’s and couldn’t be more satisfied with his work. I build stained glass windows and needed a piece engraved to incorporate in a wedding present. His work is top notch and I plan to call on him for further projects.
