Atelier 1515 Mammoth Ivory Pocket Knife

“Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.”

When we say "Custom" we mean a unique luxury piece with a unique material. The materials guide Manu steps and for a few instants, he is in complete immersion in his imaginary world in quest of perfection. And as he likes to say, a perfection that does not exists…

These knives are hand forged and crafted, every detail is a work of art. Handles made of from fossilized Mammoth ivory fleck detailing. Extremely unique and stunning coloration along the handle. Hand sizzled artisry along the back top.
