When a piece of another celestial body falls to earth, we call it a meteorite.

Of these, meteorites which are primarily composed of materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt are called iron meteorites.
These iron meteorites, chilled by their long months and years in outer space, are composed of an alloy with a unique metallic structure that’s beyond human ability to create.

 

We have, specially available, five of these knives made from this precious iron meteorite material.

 

In order to transform an iron meteorite into a knife, a highly difficult forge-welding process must be used to join steel to the tip of the sheared meteorite.
The forging is performed by a skilled craftsperson, and afterwards the blade is polished even further, using acid to remove impurities from its surface. When this is done, the surfaces of these blades reveal a myriad of patterns, no two alike.
These knives are one-of-a-kind, and if you let this chance slip by, there may not be another.

Campo Del Cielo

Campo Del Cielo NICKEL-IRON METEORITE FINE OCTAHEDRITE The land where a Spanish explorer discovered the meteorites in 1576 is called ‘campo del cielo’ and is associated with the legend which says that “lumps of iron fell from the sky.” Some holes or dents made when passing through the atmosphere can be seen on the surface of some of them. Measurements in carbon measurement method indicates that they fell around 4000 to 6000 years ago.

A meteorite knife, to slice away your own piece of eternity.
