BladesmithTristan Dareis only 19 years old, but he’s already making a name for himself.
For the past five years, he has been crafting knives that are true works of art.
And, interestingly, he often incorporates ancient materials into his blades.
Set off with opal, gold, and an ancient wooly mammoth tooth, the blade is a masterpiece.
Step by step, the meteorite is worked over until it’s perfectly sharp.
Using meteorite as a material brings a unique touch to Dare’s work.
According to Dare, his interest in working with his hands began at a young age.
At just 11 years old, he started woodworking, inspired by his grandfather who was an avid woodworker.
After several years of woodworking and competing in contests, Dare began crafting his own chisels and tools.
This is where his adventure with metal began.
Self-taught, he dove in to the world of bladesmithing and has not looked back.
Dare often works with meteorite, which gives his blades a unique touch.
For his handles, he also enjoys using rare and prehistoric materials like mammoth tusk or rare woods.
