MANU LAPLACE 1515 mammoth ivory suminagashi damascus stainless

The handle scales of this exclusive 1515 model are crafted from fossilised mammoth ivory – stabilised with black resin and polished to a smooth, velvety finish.

The elegantly decorated spacer features a delicate inlay made from the same precious material. The liners are adorned with a finely hammered guilloché pattern. Inside the liner lock is an engraving featuring a motto and the signature ‘Manu’ – a discreet detail with meaning.

The eye-catching feature of this lovingly crafted knife is undoubtedly the exquisite stainless Suminagashi Damascus blade. The stainless Damascus has 66 layers at approximately 62 HRC. The blade is very finely and sharply ground.

The 1515 model sits superbly in the hand. It exudes an impressive sense of quality and is perfectly finished in every respect. The liner lock operates with precision. Both to the touch and to the eye, every 1515 is a delight.

Manu Laplace, not just a cutler, but an artist who lives his dream.

In 2001 Manu Laplace began to combine tradition, craftsmanship, art and passion and created the legendary 1515® knife.
