ABOUT //

STUNNINGLY SHARP + SEDUCTIVE, BLADE IS THE PIÈCE DE RÉSISTANCE OF LEONA. THE OBJECT ITSELF IS AS PARADOXICAL AS THE FRUIT THAT GALVANIZED IT, RAZOR-SHARP STEEL HARMONIZED BY A SULTRY SILK BOW AND DELICATE SABLE FEATHERS. BOTH ART AND INSTRUMENT, THE KNIFE’S CAPACITY TO CREATE IS EVERY BIT AS POWERFUL AS ITS CAPACITY TO DESTROY…AND THE BOW IS REMOVABLE OF COURSE, THE ANTICIPATION OF UNTYING IT MATCHED ONLY BY THAT OF THE BLADE’S FIRST CUT. 

LOOSELY INSPIRED BY A PERPETUAL FASCINATION WITH POINTED OBJECTS (THE TRIANGLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE SHAPE!) AND THE EVOLUTION OF KNIVES AS THEY PERTAIN TO DINING, BLADE IS A RESURRECTION OF THE MEDIEVAL PRACTICE OF BRINGING ONE’S OWN KNIFE TO A DINNER PARTY + A CHEEKY NOD TO THE TIMELESS DEBATE OVER HOW BEST TO SLICE A POMEGRANATE.  Its black sheath — handcrafted from pineapple leather — is equally pointed to perfection, offering the blade punctuated protection when not in use, and its delicate accoutrements are attached with a spring-loaded clasp, making it easy to pop the bow + feathers on or off as (pomp) + circumstance demand.

WHETHER GIFTED ALONG WITH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF FRUIT, INTENTIONALLY IMPALED INTO A GORGEOUS WEDGE OF GRUYÈRE OR CAREFULLY DISPLAYED ATOP AN ALTAR OR CURIO, BLADE IS AN UNUSUAL ACCOUTREMENT THAT WILL DELIGHT HOST(ESSE)S + KNIFE ENTHUSIASTS ALIKE. 

DESIGNED + FABRICATED BY HAND IN CHICAGO. Please allow up to 10 weeks for production + delivery.
