"Elesium"
This is a 1 of 1 piece.
Sold at EatingTools.
In the first matched set by artist and designer Tristan Dare, carefully harvested pieces of the 4.565-billion-year-old Muonionalusta meteorite are combined with house-made patterned damascus steel and
pure gold to form a pair of knives of unparalleled beauty. Each blade, one in a slicer profile with 215mm of edge perfect for carving and serving tableside, the other a nicely rounded and versatile utility profile with a 147mm cutting edge, are forged to shape by Tristan at his studio in Idaho. Just twenty years old, Tristan is one of a small handful of individuals in the world to have developed a proprietary technique to retain the incredible Widmanstatten pattern and its long, nickel-iron crystals during the forging and heat-treating process.
