SpacePep's Special Edition - 45 years of Ariane

SpacePep's Special Edition - 45 years of Ariane

This numbered, limited edition knife celebrates the 45th anniversary of the Ariane epic.

It was indeed on December 24, 1979, that the first Ariane launcher in history took off from the ELA1 launch pad, giving Europeans autonomous access to space.

We therefore wanted to create a unique piece worthy of this galactic success.

Three ingredients were combined: sustainable, PEFC-certified Guiana snakewood for the handle, low-carbon steel blades for outstanding sharpness, and an Ariane metal insert taken from the booster cylinder on the inaugural flight of Ariane 5 (V501 - June 4, 1996).

All this has then been sublimated by the know-how of a great master cutler, in Thiers, in the historic basin of the great French cutlery houses.

The choice is now yours, so launch the simulator and personalize this special edition to your taste!
