This knife from the Nox Pretiosa Collection explores the contrast between darkness and light, earth and sky. The polished ebony handle offers deep, mirror-like blackness, while the howlite inlay adds a luminous, marble-like quality with soft gray veining. Evocative of clouds against night skies or the stillness of moonlit stone, this pairing is both modern and poetic.

The brass liners, engraved by hand, echo the natural warmth of the howlite’s subtle tones. Each knife is shaped and assembled with care in the workshops of Laguiole en Aubrac, becoming a symbol of duality — sleek yet organic, minimal yet expressive.

The handle, measuring 12 cm, is crafted from polished ebony and features a howlite insert: a creamy white stone with delicate gray lines that create a marbled effect. Its texture and tone are amplified by the satin glow of the ebony, creating a tactile and visual balance.

The 11 cm blade, in satin-finished stainless steel, adds a cool elegance to the knife’s profile. Guilloché brass liners and a forged bee reinforce the traditional roots of the piece, while the rare combination of materials gives it a clean, contemporary look.

Ebony & Howlite Handle

This handle features the striking contrast of two natural materials: dense black ebony and creamy white howlite. Ebony is known for its timeless beauty and high density, allowing it to be polished to a deep, satin finish that feels luxurious in hand.

Howlite is a soft white stone with gentle gray veining, giving it the appearance of fine marble. Inlaid by hand into the ebony, the howlite brings brightness and texture, creating a harmonious balance between light and dark. Each pattern is unique, giving every knife an individual presence.

The combination of ebony and howlite is both calming and captivating — a refined pairing that offers visual clarity and tactile warmth in every use.
