Intro
‘Vythos’, showcasing a custom “Arctic Fossil” Damascus Steel pattern flowing across the blade in a bright hand-rubbed mirror finish, reflecting the idea of the ancient Orthoceras fossils embedded into stone. The blade is crafted with the world-renowned meteorite, the Muonionalusta, with a crystalline structure consisting of iron and nickel formed over millions of years that truly sets it apart from many iron meteorite species. Paired with a handle hand-carved to create an otherworldly aura inset with a beautiful opal, creating a show of bouncing colors and reflections in the light.
Inspired by the mysteries of our universe, the envision was to craft a piece that reflects the otherworldly nature of the materials through fruition of the final piece in an “alien-like” design. Deriving from the Greek translation meaning “the deep” or “abyss”, ‘Vythos’ signifies an intent of reflection to deep sea life. Paired with the matching damascus steel pattern to share that idea, showcases a pattern forged specifically to mimic the Orthoceras fossils of ancient squids frozen in time and buried in the ancient sediment as they brightly contrast the darkness around them…
Nicely weighted and comfortable in the hand, the blade balances just inside the finger groove. The blade holds a nimble rocking motion and comfortable grip, built for use and working the hardened sharp cutting edge in a culinary fashion. Included is a signed Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) and custom-forged stand for displaying of the piece.

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.
