**Floating Slider**

Fortune in Motion

Inspired by Pixiu, one of the most iconic mythical creatures in ancient Chinese culture, this floating slider brings traditional symbolism together with modern EDC craftsmanship.

Pixiu is traditionally regarded as a powerful guardian associated with wealth, protection, and good fortune.

Legends describe Pixiu as a majestic winged beast resembling a lion, while other interpretations combine features of a dragon, horse, and qilin—giving it an imposing and unmistakably mythical presence.

 A Symbol of Wealth & Protection

According to Chinese folklore, Pixiu has an insatiable appetite for gold, silver, and treasure.

Most famously, it is said to have **no outlet**, meaning everything it gathers remains within—giving rise to the traditional belief of wealth that **"comes in but never goes out."**

For centuries, Pixiu has therefore been associated with several powerful meanings:

**Attracting Wealth**
Believed to gather fortune from all directions while preventing prosperity from escaping.

**Protection Against Negative Energy**
Its fierce appearance symbolizes the ability to ward off misfortune and protect its owner.

**Good Fortune & Guardianship**
Often carried or displayed as a personal guardian, Pixiu represents protection, positive change, and the turning of unfavorable circumstances into opportunity.

## Traditional Art. Modern Mechanics.

Pixiu transforms this ancient cultural symbol into a tactile **Floating Slider**.

Intricate engraving brings the mythical guardian to life, while **brass and copper inlays** create rich contrast, depth, and character across the surface.

Inside, the mechanism combines a **titanium backplate with a PTFE friction layer**, providing the smooth, controlled floating action that defines the slider's tactile experience.

A piece designed not only to be played with, but also carried as a modern interpretation of an ancient symbol of prosperity and protection.
