Comments: A master knife maker of more than 30 years, C. Gray Taylor is one of the most accomplished artisans working in steel in this or any other time.

He is one of only 25 Makers who participate in the Bi-annual Art Knife Invitational, and his work has been featured in magazines and knife publications all over the world.

This particular knife, a single blade slip-joint patterned after a French Wine Knife from the 1830s, is another example of the master's art. The blade and frame are perfectly polished and the handle sports exquisite presentation-grade antique shell scales accented with rose and green gold pins and flowers - inlayed by the maker and detailed by Master Engraver Lisa Tomlin.
