Laertes Uno

Laertes Uno – Classic Kitchen All-Rounder with Metallic Accents

The Laertes Uno model from PAPA KNIVES is a compact and versatile kitchen all-rounder. This handcrafted unique piece combines proven, classic ergonomics with a handle design that captivates through subtle contrasts.

The ergonomic handle, featuring traditional contours, is crafted from a dark, translucent synthetic resin. The design highlight is the precisely embedded inlays of copper and brass. Due to the transparency of the material, the metallic accents appear to shine three-dimensionally from deep within. The handle has been sanded to a high gloss and a super smooth finish, making it a tactile delight that sits securely in the hand.

The blade provides the matching technical performance: it is crafted from Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel and hardened to 60 HRC using a cryo-treatment (sub-zero hardening) process. With a blade length of 8.5 cm, Laertes is the ideal partner for all daily tasks in the kitchen – from finely chopping herbs to precisely slicing vegetables.
