Intro This is a 1 of 1 piece. ‘Spore’, showcasing a custom “Cosmic Web” Damascus Steel flowing across the blade, with a handle hand-carved to create an otherworldly aura to mirror that of an ancient relic of history… The envision was to craft a piece that reflects the idea of what life on other planet’s may look like, taking reflection of the otherworldly nature of the materials through fruition of the final piece in a “alien-like” design. The ancient meteorite is forged into the “web” pattern that stretches across the blade, within the helixes of the bright stainless steel interwoven into the 1095 high carbon steel edge. Nicely weighted and comfortable in the hand, the blade balances just inside the finger groove and shaped into a Japanese Petty style knife. Measuring a 5 1/8”” blade and 10 1/8”” overall, the blade holds a nimble rocking motion and comfortable grip; with a fine distill taper and razor sharp… Built for working the hardened cutting edge in a culinary setting, with a piece of the stars. The Meteorite The blade is crafted with the 4.5 billion year-old meteor, the Muonionalusta, discovered in 1906 near the border of Sweden and Finland by a group of children who found what they described as an unusual rock… Later it was studied to have traveled through the solar system for over 4.56 billion years before striking Earth nearly one million years ago. It was found to be one of the oldest meteorites ever recorded, with a crystalline structure consisting of iron and nickel formed over millions of years; that truly sets it apart from many iron meteorite species. Included is a signed Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) and custom-forged stand for displaying of the piece. ~ Tristan
