A 200 mm folding art knife with a Damasteel blade, opalized coral, stainless steel and 24-karat gold. Tyanko Ivanov's hand engraving develops the memento mori theme across the handle.
The Damasteel blade opens away from a dense engraved sequence of skulls, serpent, spider and web. Opalized coral introduces an earthy field of colour, while 24-karat gold marks small points across the composition. Ilio made the knife; Tyanko Ivanov of TE Knives created the engraving.
Knife by Ilian Dimitrov (Ilio Knives). Engraving by Tyanko Ivanov (TE Knives).
