849€

GBP: 723£

This knife, with its handle made of Aubrac beech wood, captures the poetry of a shifting sky, where golden yellow and brown blend like a cloud carried by the wind over the Aubrac plateau. The subtly blended wood tones evoke the softness of a morning breeze sweeping across the fields, creating a visual harmony that is both soothing and captivating. Each handle is a unique work of art, where nature unfolds in delicate shades, paying homage to the changing beauty of the elements.

The finely chiseled bee elegantly crowns this knife, symbolizing heritage and artisanal mastery. Its wings, sculpted with exquisite precision, seem ready to take flight, while the spring, engraved with lines and hive cells, echoes the organized and thriving life of a beehive. This carefully hammered motif mimics the rich and complex texture of hives, thus connecting the wood and metal in an organic continuity that celebrates nature and human craftsmanship.

The bolsters of this knife, inlaid with round shapes reminiscent of morning dew, capture the purity and freshness of the early hours of the day. Finely hammered, they gently reflect the light, creating a subtle play of reflections that recalls the sparkling dew drops at sunrise. These simple yet elegant details add a touch of refinement to the whole, making this knife both a functional and poetic piece.
