Petr Melichárek

Dark Scandi knife with a rustic touch and an electrifying blade.

Blade – five-layer go-mai – W.Nr. 1.2842 (O2 / ČSN 19 313) + 75Ni8 Uddeholm (15N20)

Guard / spacers – patinated mild steel, reindeer antler

Handle – bog oak. This wood was part of the foundation of a medieval bridge and was worked by people around the year 1305. I obtained the wood legally from the head of the archaeological team as leftover material intended for disposal. It is fascinating that this piece of history did not end up in a landfill but could live again as a witness of the past.

Dimensions – overall length 26.5 cm (approx. 10.4″), blade 12.5 cm (approx. 4.9″),

blade width max. 32 mm (approx. 1.3″), thickness 3.8 mm (approx. 0.150″)
