Manufacturer calibre Egocentrique by SIL Manufactory.
Egocentrique — from the French, meaning one who is immersed in oneself. And this is no metaphor. Before you stands an object that bears little resemblance to a knife. It is an artifact that does not seek to be understood. It offers no explanations. It simply exists. Would you like to try to decipher it?
What is it that you see before you? A harmonica? A paperweight? A fidget object? An artifact from an alien civilization where common sense lost the battle — but did so with dignity?
You hold it in your hands and cannot quite determine what it is.
And that is where the acquaintance begins.
