"Khaos"
Intro
Derived from the ancient Greek word Khaos (the primordial void before creation), this piece draws inspiration from the immense tectonic rifts hidden beneath the ocean's depths. These fractures, where continents slowly pull apart, reveal a world shaped by darkness, pressure, and forces beyond human comprehension.
Forged from over 4,000 layers of high-polished custom meteorite Damascus from genuine Muonionalusta meteorite, Khaos carries patterns reminiscent of shifting geological strata and abyssal fault lines. Set within the handle is a rare iridescent agate, displaying flashes of deep violet and electric blue that evoke sunlight fading into the depths and the mysterious glow of the deep water that carries ancient history dating millions of years.
Measuring 4.125 inches closed and 7 inches open, Khaos folds in a slipjoint mechanism with an organic silhouette where the intent was to create something that felt discovered, rather than manufactured. Born from meteorite, stone, and steel, the inspiration for this piece bridges the deepest regions of Earth with the furthest reaches of space, a fragment of the abyss carried in the palm of your hand.
To accompany the knife, a a custom bespoke box comes included with the piece for safe-keeping. Included is a signed Certificate of Authenticity and care kit.
Forged in Dare’s studio based in Boise, Idaho. June 23rd, 2026.
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.
Story

Beneath the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Canada, the Cascadia Subduction Zone marks a colossal boundary where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. Scientists recently documented evidence of active rupture along this hidden fault system, revealing the immense forces continuously reshaping the ocean floor. Over geological time, these shifting plates create deep fractures and abyssal voids—scarred landscapes forged by pressure, movement, and the relentless evolution of the Earth itself.
