Custom knife “Night watch”
Item 951
$4,470
A figure of a guardian in the twilight. An armor in silver that flashes. A face wrapped in a scarf. Eyes that see all around, lurking behind a helmet. A sword tiredly turned backwards. Boots pointing to each other, revealing the relaxed posture of the soldier. A body dressed in dark clothing. Hands behind, carrying the weight of the heavy shield. He is on guard. He is standing at his place, mounted on a square marble block. Maybe there is a menace out there. And there is a hidden strength inside. A small dagger blade of Damascus steel that gives a sense of security. Sharpened point and edges. A belly in silver patterns. A grind, that goes from the choil to the point on both sides. A belt, which is now, the bolster of the stealth dagger. Handle formed as the upper body of the soldier. Stylized core, chest and back carved from ebony. Bronze cast and silver coated round locket protecting the chest. The grip is completed. Detailed cast of helmet, scarf and face of the solder all silver coated and artistically shaped in an amazing pommel.

Let’s take a look at the lower body, which is standing still on its Italian marble pedestal. It is the dagger’s scabbard indeed. The spirit of the East can be seen in the detailed bronze cast of the traditional Asian warrior’s clothing and weaponry. The large sword and rounded shield are embedded onto the base consisting of the winged belt, the skirt and the boots, altogether silver coated. The impressive half-figure is turned into a dagger scabbard.
The custom knife “Night watch” is a perfect symmetry of lines and forms. Functionally it is a letter opener, shaped as a small statuette of bronze, silver and ebony with an embedded stealth dagger blade. Standing on its pedestal, possibly on your desk, this small soldier is the mysterious keeper of secret power. A finished artwork and masterpiece of knife making. It took 97 days for its creator to sculpt this incredible perfection of shapes, curves and materials.
All this beauty is hidden in luxury handmade mahogany box with twelve-layer varnish. It is kept inside until the evening comes when the magical guardian goes out to take up his post.
