I was ask to share more of my work. This is a Candle End folder that I sold at the AKI. Thank you for looking.K05436-Taylor_C_Gray__3398.jpg
 
Just received a pm about the handle on this folder. It is antique tortoise inlaid with 3 color gold, rose, green and yellow. I do the inlay and Tim George does the shading on the flowers.
 
Amazing. Reminds me of a tattoo but better.
 
Beautiful piece of work. I saw it at the show. Glad to hear the details about the handle as I didn't get a chance to ask Gray in San Diego.

It would be great to see more of your work on the forums, Gray. Absolutely top notch stuff!
 
I have a really difficult work schedule until mid-November--lots of grant applications to write. So I spend less time on the forums.

That is the only explanation that I have for myself as to how and why I missed this the day it was posted.

Of course, this is a beautiful knife--every single aspect of Gray's work shows such skill and attention to detail that it boggles the mind. I love these kinds of patterns, and there are so few who can and are willing to make them these days. Making a slipjoint that functions as perfectly as many of our makers do--that seems to me to be quite a talent. Making these patterns must be a step beyond.

Every so often, I browse through his website (just Google C. Gray Taylor) and dream. Even people who don't have the knife gene--those who don't care at all about knives---who see me looking at those on the site "oooh" and "aaaah" seeing those knives. I hope to see the ones from this year's AKI up there soon.

Ed, Sorry about the loss of your grant. These should be on my website soon. I also posted my first multi-blade miniature a few days ago. Thank you for your kind comments. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=689326

Gray, thanks for the wishes, but that actually was a typo. I was trying to write "lots of grant applications to write". I have since edited. I shouldn't post so early in the morning.

We are still waiting for you to pay a visit to the Holy Land. ;)
 
Gray,

Just incredible. Like Ed, your site is a frequent spot for me to visit. Thank you for showing us that knife.
