M3 Metal

M3 is short for Macro Molecular Metal and is made up of metal that has been deconstructed to the macro molecular level, re-alloyed and then reconstructed, creating a completely new metal composite material. The Mokume line of M3 Metal is a modern interpretation of an Ancient Japaneses method, melding metals to create organic patterns of marbled grain and burl. Originally created in 17th century Japan as adornment for samurai sword handles and sheaths, Mokume Gane reflects the finest hour of craftsmanship – reproducing the intrinsic beauty of mother nature herself.
