Description
From the northern reaches of Sweden comes one of Tobbe Lundström’s most exceptional creations, a masterwork that stands among the finest he has ever sent into the world. Known for his sculptural instinct and unmistakable Nordic sensibility, Tobbe has produced a slicer whose materials read like a catalog of the Earth’s deep past, elevated through the hands of a modern master. Anchoring the piece is a monumental block of fossilized mammoth tooth, its ancient mineralized strata revealing colors and patterns formed over tens of thousands of years. In Tobbe’s shaping, this rare material becomes a handle of breathtaking presence—bold, mosaic-like, and endlessly intriguing in hand and in light. Meeting it is a ring of reindeer antler, an organic and beautifully understated transition that honors his regional heritage. At the front of the handle, a pair of Cat mosaic damascus bolsters—crafted by Swedish damascus virtuoso Mattias Styrefors—announce the blade with vivid imagery. The blade’s long, elegant profile is shaped as always from Swedish-made, small-batch Damasteel stainless damascus. True to Tobbe’s philosophy of creating complete works of functional art, the wooden saya is no afterthought. Handcrafted to cradle the blade with precision, it is adorned with inlays of fossilized walrus tooth—an echo of the handle’s deep-time materials and a final flourish that ties the entire composition together. Graceful in form and powerful in narrative, this slicer is built not only for long, precise cuts of proteins on the board or at the table, but for collectors who understand that the finest culinary tools carry stories etched in both craft and time. A singular creation from one of Scandinavia’s most distinctive bladesmiths, and a rare opportunity to own a piece worthy of display, use, and admiration for generations.
