Ascensionem the title of the dagger from Latin, the ascension.

“Nos obviam iterum in caleum” – we meet again in heaven. A saying that was already engraved on knife blades in the Renaissance. Perhaps for the special circumstances in the family dispute.

So-called Latin knives were en vogue and a must for a man of rank. The Ascensionem knife was a sign of power and wealth.

In particular, it was a sign of high learning, being able to read and write in Latin.

The spell applied to the blade often ironically implied the purpose of the sharp steel when used.

This circumstance inspired a knife with the ambiguous Latin title Ascensionem. The Ascension, the direct way up.

The knife combines various symbols of the Christian faith. Death also has its meaning, because death is the entry into the kingdom of heaven.

The blade is a classic double-edged dagger shape, of sufficient length to serve its purpose. The blade is made of the finest stainless steel.

Steel grade 440A with a hardness of 60° HRC. The guard is made of two layers of 925 sterling silver. A curved shape connects in the middle with a flat, flat shape.

The resulting fan-like spaces are filled with pieces of bone. The result is the shape of an open book, a reference to the book of books, the Bible.

The transition to the handle is finely fluted all around. A silver spacer leads to a booklet from giraffe bone discs< /a>. The massive giraffe bones from the thigh are anchored with 14 silver rivets in an extremely stable silver frame.

The crowning glory is a goldsmith gem! A miniature reliquary made of silver and gold.

The golden ornaments represent a cross split at the ends. In the middle there is a glass cover on both sides, similar to a Monstrance.

Inside the case, based on Christ’s crown of thorns, is a prickly dry rose branch.
