Shane Taylor’s Custom Knife: Master Smith Blued Sole Authorship Damascus and African Blackwood Batwing #007

This is an early example of Mastersmith Shane Taylor extraordinary work. It is number 007 and the scales have been dovetailed fit into the integral blade. This process of dovetailing was so tedious and time consuming, that Shane no longer dovetail's his scales. Full Tang hand forged Damascus steel blade blued to defy the light like it was carved from a gargoyles tooth. Fantastic fluid filework adorns the spine flowing from the tip of your thumb to the heel of your hand. Deep cutaways in the handle and a tapered heel provide the utmost agility and nimble feel. African Blackwood handles with engraved pins are like holding pieces of midnight. ThisCustom Knife by Mastersmith Shane Taylor isn't in a world by itself it is a world in itself.
