Wildebeest and Palm tree folding knife

Pocket Knife in Wildebeest and Palm Wood

This pocket knife from the Africa collection is crafted in our workshops in Thiers, the historic heart of French cutlery. Each piece is entirely made by hand, with the precision and care that only true craftsmanship can provide. The handle, shaped from wildebeest horn and palm wood, offers a distinctive presence, warm in the hand and marked by the natural variations of the material.

The 14C28N stainless steel blade undergoes a meticulous oxidation process using strong water. This technique creates a deep, contrasted pattern that reinforces the unique character of the knife. The edge is designed to deliver smooth cutting performance, whether used outdoors, on the move, or in daily tasks. The mordoré floral screws, matte liners, and carefully adjusted components bring a rare visual harmony, echoing the mastery of our workshop.

Every element of this model is built to last: the Liner Lock mechanism ensures secure opening and consistent comfort in use. The 10 cm blade length offers a versatile format, suitable for enthusiasts of fine cutlery as well as professionals seeking an elegant and reliable tool.

Choosing a knife signed by Manu Laplace means bringing into your daily life a piece shaped according to the traditions of Thiers, where the mastery of steel and the work of noble materials have been passed down through generations. A knife conceived as an object meant to stay with you over time, marked by the maker’s hand and the character of its materials.
