Crafted from exquisite Damascus steel forged by the hammer of Master Blacksmith and Metal Artist Robert Eggerling, Thor’s slide, grips, and trigger are masterpieces of fire forged steels. Eggerling’s expertise brings to life the intricate patterns on the slide, which echo Mjolnir, the mighty hammer of Thor. Just as Mjolnir was forged in the heart of a dying star and wielded by the god to protect the realms, this pistol embodies a power and beauty that is “otherworldly”.
The slide is a marvel of Damascus steel, with a micro-pattern so detailed it seems to capture the very essence of lightning and thunder, the hallmarks of Thor’s dominion. The mythological symbolism is further enhanced by Cabot’s monolithic slide design, a feature reserved for their most exclusive limited editions and one-of-a-kind creations that allow for the maximum canvas area to display this steel art.
Cabot’s proprietary process for finishing the Damascus steel grips and trigger reveals its true natural essence, drawing out a spectrum of colors that naturally contain the diverse steels of the Damascus. This prismatic effect, reminiscent of the shimmering Bifrost Bridge connecting Asgard to the mortal world, imbues the pistol with an ethereal quality, making it as visually stunning as it is functional.
The swooping “Dante” style rear sight, crafted from a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite, pays homage to the gods of legend and the celestial origins of Thor himself. This ancient material, older than the Earth itself by a magnitude of ten, connects the bearer of this pistol to the very fabric of the cosmos. The front sight, adorned with a 14kt gold bead, gleams like the sun, a symbol of the eternal light that guides Thor’s hand in battle.
Encasing this extraordinary weapon is an exquisite wood case crafted by the renowned Master Casemaker Steven Parker. The case features Cabot’s exclusive “Freedom Fit” interior, ensuring that every aspect of Thor is displayed with the reverence it deserves. The case itself is a work of art, echoing the timeless beauty and strength of the pistol it protects.
Please note Thor is SOLD.
