Michael Walker Rare Custom Knives - KnifeLegendsMichael Walker Rare Custom Knives - KnifeLegendsMichael Walker Rare Custom Knives - KnifeLegendsComments: 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 participated in the Bi-annual Art Knife Invitational, and his work has been featured in magazines and knife publications all over the world. He is currently a Featured Maker at the Arts In Metal (AIM) show now done annually in Nashville, TN.

This particular knife, a multi-blade slip-joint, called an Equal End Lobster, 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 - in-layed by the maker and detailed by David Taylor, Gray's son. The liners, bolsters, bale and pins are of 14K yellow gold.

It has three cutting blades, a manicure blade, a button hook and a scissors of CPM-154 steel. 

Hard to imagine a more elegant or sophisticated looking one-of- a kind folder, direct from the 2021 AIM Show.
