This exceptional model from the Cosmos Collection pays tribute to the origin of space and time: the Big Bang. Its full handle is carved from stabilized elder burl, hand-tinted in deep crimson with bursts of golden highlights — a chromatic explosion that evokes the fiery expansion of the universe. The swirling grain of the wood captures the dynamic chaos of creation, frozen in form and color.
Instead of the traditional bee, the knife features a custom-forged motif representing the Big Bang, while the spring is finely engraved with celestial patterns stretching from butt to tip. Every detail of this knife tells a story — one of beginnings, movement, and cosmic energy. It’s a functional piece of art for those who carry meaning in every object.

These knives blend the elegance of celestial design with the precision of French craftsmanship, creating pieces that are as timeless as the stars themselves.

More than a collector’s item, this knife bridges time and imagination. From the ancestral gesture of shaping steel and wood to the symbolic force of its cosmic theme, it embodies the harmony between ancient craftsmanship and universal wonder.
The 12 cm handle is crafted from stabilized elder burl — a wood born of natural irregularity, where time and tension create intricate, swirling formations. In this model, the wood has been hand-tinted in a deep crimson hue, accented with golden filaments that catch the light like sparks from a distant star. The result is a surface that feels almost cosmic, as if it had absorbed a fragment of the universe itself.
The knife’s shape follows the full-handle design, with no bolsters, allowing the vibrant material to speak without interruption. Its matte-satin stainless steel blade complements the soft sheen of the wood, while its forged motif — symbolizing the Big Bang — and the engraved spine together form a visual narrative that stretches from tail to tip. Every line, every curve, is an echo of movement, precision, and symbolic depth.
This model is not only technically refined, but also emotionally charged — a knife that fuses fine cutlery with cosmic allegory. Whether displayed or carried, it embodies a moment of origin and a connection to something far beyond the everyday.
Crimson Elder Burl Handle
The handle of this model is crafted from stabilized elder burl, a rare and complex wood that forms where growth is most unpredictable. These burls produce dense, swirling patterns — rich with natural movement — that seem to mimic the flow of gas clouds or the turbulence of stellar matter.
For this piece, the wood has been hand-dyed in deep crimson, with golden highlights emerging from its grain like flashes of cosmic light. The satin finish lends a soft luster that enhances the depth of color, while allowing the organic texture to remain tangible to the touch.
Every handle is unique — a fragment of nature transfigured into something galactic. It is as if the moment of the Big Bang itself had been captured in wood, then shaped and polished by the artisan to reflect both chaos and harmony. This material is not only beautiful, but symbolically resonant: it evokes the birth of light, the mystery of origin, and the timeless beauty of a universe in motion.
