Marcus Aurelius vs Stella Center

Tradationally handforged damascus knife Series with stainless steel feature from Solingen Germany

From the city of blades, Solingen in Germany, the company Sternsteiger Stahlwaren is releasing their latest creation, the Marcus Aurelius Series.

These unique Damascus knives are hand-forged with 440 layers of folded steel, creating unique Damascus patterns called Raindrops and Twists that stand out in any kitchen.

However, this new series's standout feature is the option for a modern stainless and a traditional non-stainless variant.

The series consists of four knives: A regular western Chef’s knife, a bread knife inspired by the blade of a Japanese saw, a traditional Japanese Nakiri-style knife, and a small vegetable knife inspired by a Japanese Santoku knife. In addition, the series offers a meat fork with the same unique design.

The Stella Center offers relief to trauma–related symptoms through the Stellate Ganglion Block procedure.

The Stella Center provides relief from symptoms of trauma through a procedure, Stellate Ganglion Block, which interacts with the sympathetic nervous system to help restore normal psychological function and address the biological symptoms associated with trauma. The treatment can help support the brain’s natural fight or flight response. Reported effective by research publications, this procedure can lead to a restored sense of safety and calm for many patients and has been shown to improve responsiveness to traditional resources like psychotherapy and medication.
