With a carved 15n20\/1084 handle and meteorite forged within the layers of the alloys, an intricate carving displays the infection spreading across the handle, and into the blade… The blade is forged in a San-Mai construction with 1084 high carbon steel and a ‘tearing’ pattern featuring Bertie Rietveld’s “Fracture” Damascus Steel core. In intricate inlays across the blade, can be found 50k+ layers of Damascus Steel forged with meteorite iron set into the blade in a plug-welded fashion. Alongside, a specimen of solid meteorite on either side of the blade from the legendary Muonionalusta meteorite… Displaying the intricate crystal structure within the meteorite iron, features the fascinating Widmanstätten pattern in a 8-sided pattern formation. Resulting in a cross-hatch effect, this structure was formed over billions of years in the vacuum of space to create this effect. Unable to be replicated by any technological processes, it is a shear feat of nature in a complex and rare occurrence. A two-piece construction of the handle and blade, in a fastened construction in which the handle is “grabbing” on to the blade. With gold embellishments across the surface of the steel, it resembles the feeling of an ancient relic of history. Weighted and comfortable in the hand, the piece balances right at the heel of the blade. With a textured handle moving into portions of the spine, and a thin flexible high-polish blade tapering from heel to tip; provides both a functional and comfortable blade. This work of art is a piece of culinary cutlery in the culmination of history and the enigma of our universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\" data-block-type=\"47\" data-sqsp-block=\"line\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1675788085295_269088\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block website-component-block sqs-block-website-component sqs-block-html html-block\" data-block-css='[\"https:\/\/definitions.sqspcdn.com\/website-component-definition\/static-assets\/website.components.html\/fa064889-35e4-452f-a442-609281306ad6_586\/website.components.html.styles.css\"]' data-block-scripts='[\"https:\/\/definitions.sqspcdn.com\/website-component-definition\/static-assets\/website.components.html\/fa064889-35e4-452f-a442-609281306ad6_586\/website.components.html.visitor.js\"]' data-block-type=\"1337\" data-definition-name=\"website.components.html\" data-sqsp-block=\"text\" data-website-component-id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1675788085295_269162\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1675788085295_269162\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-text-block-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\" data-sqsp-text-block-content=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTHE METEORITE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-title-wrapper\" data-sqsp-image-classic-block-title=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-title sqs-dynamic-text\" data-width-percentage=\"40.6\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe 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.
