At Herman Knives, we are constantly searching for solutions that will elevate our knives to an even higher level. We seek out materials that not only meet the expectations of the most demanding users but also tell a story of precision, durability, and exceptional aesthetics.
Today, we are proud to introduce the latest additions to our arsenal –
three outstanding coatings from the manufacturer Oerlikon: BALINIT® A and BALINIT® MAYURA, BALINIT® TRITON STAR
Color and precision – BALINIT® MAYURA
BALINIT® MAYURA is a completely different story – one of modernity, performance, and bold design. This carbon-based coating stands out not only for its vivid color but above all for its functional properties. Thinner, smoother, and harder than many available alternatives, it allows for the preservation of extremely sharp cutting edges – with no compromises.
This solution was designed for precision work in demanding conditions, where every detail matters. For the end user, it translates into exceptional blade durability, maximum control, and unmatched aesthetics.
A classic that never fails – BALINIT® A
The golden BALINIT® A coating is a true legend in the world of protective materials. Its history dates back to the late 1970s, when titanium nitride was first used to extend the life of tools. The result? A fourfold increase in durability – marking the beginning of a new era in surface protection.
Today, this very technology – in its modern, low-temperature version – is now applied to our knives as well. BALINIT® A not only protects knife components against abrasive and adhesive wear but also gives them a distinctive, elegant look. It is completely food-safe, making it an excellent choice for both everyday and professional use.
This is a coating for those who value proven, reliable solutions and refined style.
BALINIT® TRITON STAR
An advanced carbon-based coating with an exceptionally dense structure, designed for maximum wear resistance. Supported by STAR (Superior Tribological ARrangement) technology, it combines an ultra-low coefficient of friction with high hardness, providing excellent protection against abrasive and adhesive wear. An additional chromium nitride layer enhances the coating’s durability, making it particularly resistant under high-stress conditions. Originally developed for industrial aluminium forming processes, BALINIT® TRITON STAR now enters the world of knives – where reliability, smooth cutting performance, and outstanding wear resistance are essential.
At Herman Knives, we believe that functionality and aesthetics can go hand in hand. Our collaboration with Oerlikon proves that technology can be as beautiful as it is effective.
