Knife made from reclaimed skateboards and old bridge nails by Skateriors, combining layered deck wood with a blade forged from historic steel.
This knife brings together two materials that once had very different purposes. The handle began as a skateboard deck, later collected and reshaped by Skateriors. The blade was forged from nails taken from an old bridge, giving the steel a second function after years of structural use.
The layered maple wood from the skateboard forms the handle. Its coloured stripes run through the grip, making each knife visually distinct. The blade, once part of a construction meant to hold weight and withstand weather, now takes on a more precise role.
The combination feels balanced. Solid in the hand, practical in use, but also clearly different from standard kitchen tools. It works as a functional knife, and at the same time carries two past lives in one object.

Each knife is made from different skateboard decks and reclaimed bridge nails. The colour patterns in the handle and the finish of the blade vary per piece, while the function remains consistent.
