Manu LAPLACE 1515 PRIMITIVE stag horn & oxidised blade

Description

New Collection - PRIMITIVE Collection - stag horn & oxidised blade

Manu Laplace has always been fascinated by the idea of discovering the first tool, such as flint. This thought inspired him to create his latest collection.

The handle is crafted from fine stag horn from the Ardennes. The Ardennes are a densely forested, unspoilt low-mountain range in the heart of Europe, stretching across Belgium, Luxembourg and parts of France. Their dense forests and largely untouched natural environment make the region a special habitat for red deer. The handle reflects the irregular appearance of a flint. This intricate finish is also evident on the brass backspacer and the spine of the blade – the ‘Ur-Messer’ has arrived!

Alongside the extraordinary handle scales, the oxidised carbon blade is certainly another eye-catcher. It is very finely ground and extremely sharp. The inside of the spacer is decorated with a pictorial narrative.

The 1515 model feels great in the hand. It has an impressive quality feel and is perfectly finished in all areas. The linerlock works precisely. Haptically and visually, every 1515 is a delight.

You will receive the model shown.
