“Liminal” Not the calm. Not the storm. The moment between

A poetic synthesis of material and meaning - "Liminal" captures that fragile instant between tranquility and awakening.

This 19-inch bowie features a 13-inch mosaic

Damascus blade of tiger stripe bamboo. This bamboo forest is from the perspective of what an animal would see. Evoking the moment between stillness and movement -where a stalking tiger's stripes blend into the flowing forest, with the prey not being able to tell the difference between the two.

The water-ripple Damascus fittings echo the quiet tension of a pond's surface, accented with 24K gold lily pads and stainless stippled spacers.

The handle, inspired by traditional Chinese jade carving, retains its natural bark to form carved lily pads floating above the internal white fossil ivory depicting the calm water of a pond, which is gently interrupted by the falling of cherry blossoms and petals from a nearby tree - a serene reflection of nature's fleeting balance.
