Hard Surface Study - knife and patina

This project showcases a minimalist knife design that contrasts rugged imperfection with refined craftsmanship. The handle is deliberately left rough, rusty, and untreated, emphasizing raw materiality and age. In contrast, the blade is polished to a sharp, pristine finish, embodying precision and functionality. The knife rests on a walnut wood stand, adding a touch of natural elegance to the overall composition. This piece is a study in textures, materials, and the harmony of opposites.
