Herman Knives presents Mantis the Witcher's Tales: Leshy – an extraordinary knife where the highest craftsmanship meets the depth of Slavic mythology. This unique piece, adorned with an engraving by the Thai master Monthep Chimwai, combines technical perfection with the tale of Leshy, the guardian of the wild.
One side of the titanium handle depicts Leshy, the mighty forest spirit who, according to legend, watches over the harmony of nature. Beside him are a wolf, symbolizing loyalty and wilderness, and a raven – a harbinger of mystery and wisdom. These elements radiate a mystical aura, drawing you into the world of ancient beliefs. The other side of the handle features a majestic bear, embodying strength and independence, and a stag whose antlers tell a story of life’s cycle and rebirth. Every detail of the engravings, enriched with golden accents, has been designed to capture not only the beauty but also the power of the wild.
Mantis, as a continuation of the Witcher’s Tales series, subtly references the universe of Geralt of Rivia. Leshy, a figure deeply rooted in mythology, perfectly fits into this world as the guardian of forests and ancient forces. This subtle inspiration emphasizes the character of the knife, merging the symbolism of nature with the legend of dark creatures and the balance between humans and their environment.
Each Mantis knife is more than a tool – it’s a work of art and a tribute to legend. The engraving, meticulously crafted by Monthep Chimwai based on Herman Knives’ vision, brings elements of mythology into everyday life, creating a unique collector’s item. Packaged in an exclusive wooden box, Mantis is the perfect choice for those who value both functionality and symbolism and wish to own a fragment of a story that transcends the ages.

My name is Monthep Chimwai, I'm 39 years old .
I graduated bachelor's degree major in Industrial Education and Education Faculty from Patumwan Institute of Technology, and Certificate major in Industrial Education and Education Faculty from TATC (THAI AUSTRIAN TECHNICAL COLLEGE)
I live at Ayutthaya province, Thailand.
At the end of 2011 I met a man who became my teacher.
My Professor's name is Sutthichai Phosamton (Ton), also known as Ton-Ayodia.
He was the one who told me stories of engraved folding knife and show me the masterpiece that made me surprized and interested.
He can created from folding knife a piece of art. It was excited to watch this transformation into something perfect!
For next two years I was studying to be an engraver under Ton-Ayodia supervision.
He was instructing and advising me in techniques and skills. It wasn’t easy, and take a lot of time and hard work and practise. My mentor was struggling with barriers as lack of capital, marketing or language that’s why he wanted to relay his know-how as his legacy to someone who can continue this achievements.
Most of knowledge I got from Him - the moral code of engraver, development of engraving methods over time, designing and practicing of each pattern, , incrustation on workpiece.
In 2013 was my first experience in Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair , next year I bought my engraving machine and started to create my own works on folding knives, still learning and developing my knowledge.
My name is Bartosz Herman. I produce knives according to my own projects and sometimes on an individual order.
I try for every one of my knives to be unique and to enjoy its owner and at the same time to be comfortable and reliable during every day work.
I want to develop my skills even further so that results of my work can keep getting better and better.
I invite You to watch results of my work.
