The Queen a royal knife studded with precious stones.
The art knife The Queen from the knife manufacturer TYPEMYKNIFE is part of the knife pair The Queen and The King.
The queen is light in color and made of ivory, while the king is made of black ebony, like pieces on a chess board.
In their traditional production, the queen and king go back to an interesting event from the Middle Ages.
At a time when gemstones were not yet commercially available, the stones were often removed from inherited or old jewelry and presented in a new light.
So it happened that over a long time and adventurous ways, diamonds from Indian royal crowns, as well as gemstones from Roman senator rings came back to new splendor in new jewels.
The stones, which enclose the ivory handle in a medieval bandwork technique, are traditionally taken from old pieces of jewelry by TYPEMYKNIFE Messermanufaktur.
The blade is made of Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. It has a hardness of 61° HRC and an exceptionally high level of toughness.
The guard repeats the geometry of the blade in the form of a cloverleaf. An ivory shaft is held in the ferrule, its legal origin from a animal park in Tanzania
The ivory handle is surrounded by scrollwork, with the crossing points each having a gemstone.
As mentioned above, all 16 stones are valuables set from old jewelery that tell their own story.
Some have coats of arms of old noble families, others have antique cuts. Gems show portraits of women with 19th-century hairstyles.
The scrollwork is completed with a cap in which a movable sterling silver eyelet is worked.
