Description: South African knifemaker George Muller creates an exceptional knife! The hollow ground blade is formed from stainless Damasteel damascus. The spine has been hand fileworked. Fileworked, anodized titanium liners surround the Damascus backbar.
Ancient wooly mammoth tooth scales incorporate caramel and cream tones. Bolsters are formed from Muonionalusta meteorite. The Muonionalusta meteorite was originally found in 1906 near Kiruna, Sweden. Muonionalusta meteorites are very rarely found on the meteorite market and even less frequently found on knives as the strewn field is within the Arctic Circle, making searching for it very difficult. The crystalline patterns revealed on the bolsters are known as "Widmanstatten patterns". These patterns can only form in the vacuum of space. The large metallic crystals require millions of years of cooling to form from a molten planetary core fragment. It has been estimated that it took about 1000 years for these molten pieces of planetary core to cool by just 1 degree Celsius! The meteorite has been dovetailed to the mammoth tooth for a perfect fit. Excellent fit and finish throughout!
