Gold Lip Mother-of-Pearl: Western-Style Chef’s Knife
This new collection introduces a stunning functional piece: a chef's knife that integrates artistry with performance. The design is a study in material contrast, intentionally pairing two forces that define beauty through resilience: the ancient stability of the land and the dynamic radiance of the sea.
The Anchor: Box Elder Burl Handle
The Burl forms the stable, tactile heart of the handle. Its character is defined by history—years of growth compressed into dense, chaotic swirls, providing exceptional grip texture and a deep, earthen aesthetic. This material ensures a reliable, organic presence in the hand.
The Counterpoint: Gold Lip Mother-of-Pearl Accent
The Gold Lip Mother-of-Pearl provides the signature accent. While its radiance is immediate, its beauty lies in the complex, deep iridescence—a visual effect where light moves across its layered structure. This dynamic quality ensures the piece is visually captivating from every angle on the block.
By integrating these two natural opposites, we achieve a composition that is both functional and collectible. Both the Burl and the Pearl owe their striking structures to intense pressure and resistance over time.
The final result is a precisely balanced chef's knife—where the grounding stability of the land meets the reflective, moving beauty of the sea. This is a tool designed to be used, held, and admired.
