WUKONG Hand-engraved Pocketknife with 24K Gold Inlays and Damascus Blade
The Spearpoint ‘Wukong’ features a mesmerizing hand-engraved handle of titanium frame with inlaid 24K gold, silver and copper. The blade is hand-forged feather damascus steel by Mauricio Carlos from Argentina. The TieJianJin craft used in the carving depicts the mythological story of the Victorious Fighting Buddha of Monkey King. The ‘Wukong’ features hundreds of hours of microscopic hand-engraving, and hand-forged Damascus, which is a timeless heirloom to be proudly worn. Aesthetic themes: Fighting Saint Buddha’s journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Craftsmanship: Chinese intangible cultural heritage TieJianJin craft - a kind of craft that carves a cross grid on ironware, and then beats the gold or silver, fires, carves and polishes it into a pattern constrained by the cross grid. This is a nearly lost handicraft art.
