“Cerberus” by Tristan Dare
A custom bespoke blade crafted with the iron from a 4.5 billion year-old meteorite, the Muonionalusta, fused with high carbon Damascus Steel to culminate an otherworldly cutting tool. Inspired by the mysteries of our universe, signifies the tones of ancient Greek mythology and the legend of Cerberus, the three-headed dog that gaurded the gates of hades.
The handle is crafted from an all-steel construction featuring 24k gold embellishments,and a Herkimer Diamond to represent the ancient Greek idea that represented the soul, symbolising which Cerberus sought to protect.
The Making
To create the blade, it is formulated from unique house-made alloys which includes raw iron derived directly from the Muonionalusta meteorite; the breathtaking ancient debris from the remnants of a crushed planetoid... Before being discovered in Scandinavia in 1906 near the border of Sweden and Finland, the Muonionalusta is studied to have traveled through the solar system for over 4.56 billion years before striking Earth nearly one million years ago, dating to be one of the oldest meteorites ever recorded...
Ancient Greek Mythology, and the “Cerberus”
In Greek mythology, Cerberus was the formidable three-headed guardian of the underworld, charged with ensuring that the dead could never escape. It was said to possess a serpentine mane, razor-sharp claws, and a presence that struck fear into even the gods. Inspired by this ancient sentinel, Cerberus was forged to embody the raw power and eternal vigilance of its namesake. With layered Damascus steel and a crystal embedded in the handle, this blade stands as both a weapon and a relic of myth, forever binding past and present.
