Gray is one of the AKI (Art Knife Invitational) knife makers creating some of the most wonderful knives that you will ever see. he specializes in reproductions of historical multi-blade gentleman folders using steel, precious metals and exotic materials to create his interpretations of classic knives. I asked Gray to reproduce a fancy bartenders knife pictured in the book Sheffield Exhibition Knives. This knife has a master sheepfoot blade, a pen blade, a fancy corkscrew and a bartender's bottle blade. It has beautiful tortoise shell scales inlaid with yellow, pink and green gold. Lisa Tomlin did the shading and lines on the gold inlays. gray built the leather case. This is from an original Joseph Rodgers & Sons knife.
