"Kyrstallos" is one of my favorite pieces to date, and features several new embelishements. The first is seen in the bolsters, and is a very special technique in which the actual grain structure of the Titanium becomes visible to the naked eye through a complex, oxygen-free heating process. I have also mimicked the appearence of Rutilated Quartz in the Mother-of-Pearl handle scales. Rutilated Quartz is a clear Quartz showing very fine and straight inner veining. I have re-created this look into what I call "Rutilated Mother-of-Pearl": I have very carefully craved multiple, intersecting, perfectly straight lines of all the same width and depth, and then applied multiple layers of pure 22k fine Italian Orange Gold leaf. The Titanium liners are fully fileworked, carved, and multi-colored anodized. Along the spine are hot-blued Damascus steel inlays, and my signature logo under semi transparent shell. The gemstones are all set in 18k yellow gold. 18" long overall. Completing the package is an Ebony wood display stand.
