In 2000, Shayne was voted Farrier Industry Legend. This was awarded to the top 25 most influential contributors to the farrier industry.

He competed (twice!) in and won the popular show Forged in Fire in season three. He is an exceptional blacksmith and bladesmith.
The blade was forged to shape from Shayne’s own chevron pattern damascus, combining 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels to ensure a keen, long lasting edge. The blade is flat ground and razor sharp. Shayne’s touchmark is on the left ricasso. His MS mark is on the right side.
The handle is amber jigged bone, set on a full tang for strength and durability. The natural texture provides a sure, comfortable grip – even when hands are wet.
To keep the knife close at hand, a cross draw leather custom sheath by Zane Osborn is included.
Excellent work throughout!
