This is a 1 of 1 piece. Sold at EatingTools. Artist Tristan Dare's propensity for forging rare and storied materials into functional, culinary art is on full display in the Descent Meteorite Petty Chef. All matter in the known universe, as they say, is little more than stardust, consisting of the most ancient elements, the building blocks of life, the source of all the natural world, thus connecting us all more deeply that we are often able to contemplate. The very study of worlds beyond our own is represented as well in this chef's knife that includes the reclaimed material of an early 1990's US Department of Defense space shuttle launch. More on that later. In this one-of-a-kind work by the young, visionary craftsperson from Idaho, ingredients such as the Muonionalusta Meteorite and pure gold, each of which outdate the formation of Earth, are found throughout the 171mm / 6.7" blade alongside additional metallic components including iron, carbon, chromium, nickel, sulfur, phosphorous, manganese, and others, resulting in an object unlike any that has come before (pre-Earth or otherwise).
