![]() His fascination with mosaic damascus began after hosting a hammer-in where Mastersmith Steve Schwarzer demonstrated his cutting edge work in the field. At 23, he started experimenting with damascus and it continues to be one of his major inspirations today. Shane was one of the makers who developed modern damascus. He started out with simple tools - a coal forge, a hammer, and an anvil. Shane began making knives at 12 years old so that he could have a quality knife while working on the family ranch. In addition, he was awarded both Best Damascus Knife at Blade Show (Atlanta, GA) and Blade Handmade Award, three times each! In 2001, Shane was the first recipient of the James Schmidt Award at the East Coast Custom Knife Show in NYC. Mastersmith Shane Taylor has been a full time bladesmith since 1992 and became a mastersmith in 2000.
