These knives use genuine historic Eiffel Tower iron as upper part of the complex, 18 cm, five layer carbon steel / Nickel / Damascus blade that was forged by Mike Fellows (Karat Knives) in South Africa. The iron used was part of a spiral staircase that connected the Eiffel Tower's second platform with the top and was removed during renovation works in the 1980s. One segment of the staircase is on display at the Eiffel Tower itself, four others have been given to French museums and the remaining segments were sold. The iron used for these knives was part of the handrail of one of those segments. The Damascus pattern of the lower part of the blade resembles the star-lit night sky over Paris.
Jelle Hazenberg in Ireland sculpted the handle in his signature style from stabilised French oak that used to be a wine barrel handmade by Francois Frères in Burgundy, France, and was used by one of their most prominent customers, an ultra high-end vineyard in Burgundy, for its most exclusive (US$ 15,000 per bottle) wine. The bolster is made from stabilised cork.
Each knife comes with a show piece box made from the very same wine barrel as the handle. One can still smell the wonderful wine that used to be stored in the barrel!
As all high quality knives, this knife will rust if not treated with care.

Islamic heritage meets traditional German craftsmanship, precision and high tech. Only 25 of these extraordinary knives will ever be made.
This knife series uses original wood that was used for the decoration of the domes of the Grand Mosque extension around the Ka'aba in Mecca, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Shamiya project). All Teak wood used for these knives' handles and the knives' boxes are cut-offs or cut-outs of the original wood used in Mecca. The maple veneer used both, in Mecca and for these knives' boxes even stems from the very same individual tree. Depending on the individual box's design, even the amazonite stones used for these knives' boxes are left-overs from the construction process in Mecca and from the very same batch as all other amazonite stones used.
Further authenticity is added by all boxes being hand-carved by Mr. Driss Chiboub, the very person who was responsible for virtually all decorative carving works at the Grand Mosque extension.
The knives' blades are hand-crafted by high-end knife manufacturers Nesmuk in Solingen, Germany, using only the finest Nickel and Carbon steels. The intricate "Pathway to Heaven" Damascus pattern has been developed for this knife series only and requires an extraordinarily laborious process to be achieved. Each hollow ground blade features a core layer of high-carbon (1.5%) steel, wedged between outer supporting layers of special Damascus steel. The blades are then conserved for decades by applying an extremely thin (a few micro-meters only) invisible silicon coating (Nesmuk Protective Coating), which Nesmuk have developed together with world-renowned Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT).
Each knife of this strictly limited series will be individually numbered and only be made on specific customers' requests. Customers can choose either from ready made boxes (each of which will be hand-carved by Mr. Driss Chiboub), or request their own box lid designs. Similarly, all customers can choose from stainless steel (standard), brass (standard) or 18k gold bolsters (cost option) for their knives. Custom engravings on the knives' bolsters are available (no additional cost option). Each knife will be delivered with a fitted leather sheath and sharpening strop.
It's been a pleasure buying from you. You made everything so easy and enjoyable.
