The fascinating stories of my clients are sometimes the occasion of fabulous trips from my workshop...
This project is a superb example of a personalized creation, entirely thought and made around a subject dear to my client: the Amazon.
The scene is engraved on the handle of an exceptional 1515 knife. Several subjects are combined in this richly detailed engraving: animals (tiger, jaguar, dolphin, anaconda, caiman), the plant world (endemic trees and plants, the Amazon river) as well as the drawing of Amazonia borders in the center of the handle.
Please note some remarkable details: integration of Indian symbols around nature, details of the jaguar, the tiger, the spacer of the knife engraved with a caiman skin-like pattern...
Support: 1515 knife
Theme: travel
Customer: private
Realization in partnership with the workshop 1515, Manu Laplace Coutelier
This engraving is part of the "personalized creation" projects which occupy a very particular place in my job as an engraver and chiseler. It is a real work of composition that I realize with you.
A passion, memories, a few moments of life... or simply an idea or a theme are often the starting point of your personalized engraving project. I imagine a scene inspired by the subject you would like to see engraved on your object. Long discussions are essential to understand your wishes and your sensitivity. I take the time to listen to you in order to capture every detail that will allow me to bring uniqueness to your engraving.
Before the engraving process, I propose you a sketch made with special attention which allows us to validate together your future creation. With you, I realize a very well made composition, in which you will find very personal details, underlined with discretion in the engraving. Your engraving will bring to your object an unsuspected sentimental dimension and will make it a precious item that will accompany you for many years.
