ECLIPSE: The Alignment of Three Celestial Bodies, Three Unique Materials
The Éclipse knife draws its distinctive character from the harmonious combination of three carefully selected elements:
A handle made from Morta wood, symbolizing the Earth,
A spring in stainless steel, evoking the Moon,
Two brass liners, embodying the Sun.
The Earth: Morta, a Millennial Wood
The knife’s handle is crafted from Morta, an exceptional material with a rich history. This wood comes from oak trunks buried in peat for over 5,000 years. In this oxygen-free, anaerobic environment, the wood undergoes a gradual fossilization process as minerals slowly replace the organic matter. This gives Morta its unmatched durability and resistance. Steeped in history, this rare wood reflects the strength and richness of our planet.
The Moon: The Radiance of Stainless Steel
At the heart of the alignment lies the spring and the bee, meticulously crafted to shine in silver hues reminiscent of the Moon’s gentle and enigmatic light. The refined guilloche engraving and delicate chiseling of these elements add unparalleled sophistication, paying homage to the coutelier’s artistry.
The Sun: The Warmth of Brass
The brass liners capture the vibrant glow of the Sun. Their radiant finish symbolizes the Sun’s blazing rays, enhancing the magnificence of this piece. To complete this masterpiece, three fine golden flowers adorned with sparkling diamonds provide a final touch of refinement, highlighting the precious nature of this exceptional knife.
A Masterpiece of Artisan Cutlery
Éclipse is more than just a knife; it is a tribute to artisanal expertise and the cosmic forces that govern our daily lives. A unique piece that is both functional and symbolic, it will captivate collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
