Between shadow and light
Black, gold and silver: this exceptional tricolor piece joins our
collection of art knives. It stands out with its extremely fine
handcarving work, combining symmetrical curves, floral
patterns and textured engraving.

The ‘Éclipse’ is a knife crafted from three distinctive elements:
a Morta wood handle, a stainless steel spring and two brass
plates. These materials symbolically represent the three
celestial bodies that influence our daily lives: the Earth, the
Moon and the Sun.
The Earth is represented here by the Morta, an exceptional
wood selected for its historical richness and unique
characteristics. For over 5,000 years, oak trunks have been
buried under peat. In this anoxic environment, deprived of air
and oxygen, the wood is protected and absorbs silica. Over
time, minerals gradually replace the organic material in a
fossilization process, giving Morta its remarkable resistance
and durability.
At the center of the knife, the bee and the spring are gleaming
in a beautiful silver hue reminiscent of the Moon. Each
element has been crafted with precision: the cutler imparts
the knife with its unique beauty through refined handcarving
and delicate engraving.
The splendor of the Sun is reflected in the golden hue of the
brass plates, evoking two burning rays at the heart of the
eclipse. Three delicate golden flowers, crowned with small
diamonds, add a magnificent final touch to this exceptional
knife
