Taylor, C Gray
For over 40 years, C. Gray Taylor has devoted himself to knifemaking. Today, he specializes in reproductions of historical multi-blade gentleman folders, using steel, precious metals and exotic handle materials to create his interpretations of these classic pocket knives.
He is a member of the Art Knife Invitational, a prestigious group of 25 of the most collectible knifemakers in the world. In 2017, he won 'The Buster' which is awarded for the best overall display of workmanship, named for the late Buster Warenski the undisputed master of the craft. This was the fifth time Gray has won the award, having previously won in 2007, 2011, 2013 and 2015.
