Presenting the Herman Knives blade, adorned with an engraving that is an original concept of the Herman Knives team, executed by Thai master engraver Monthep Chimwai, we delve into a world where technical perfection meets the depths of mythology. The blade, forged from the highest quality Swedish Damasteel Damascus steel, exhibits the 'Odin's Eye' pattern on Damacore® DC21R™, with a core of RWL34™ surrounded by layers of RWL34™ and PMC27™, offering exceptional durability and sharpness, achieving a hardness of 61 HRC.
Its mirror-polished finish not only dazzles but also enables precise cutting, embodying a fusion of art and functionality. It stands as a testament to masterful craftsmanship and a representation of deep symbolism that permeates the entire design.
On the titanium handle, backspacer, and clip, the engraving master, inspired by the creativity of Herman Knives, has brought to life the vision of the Slavic 'Lady Midday' – a beautiful yet terrifying entity known in folklore to scour fields under the midday sun, seeking victims during harvest on Polish and other Slavic lands. On the opposite side of the handle is a sinister scarecrow, guarding the fields. These two figures, rich in detail and symbolism, with golden elements – 24-karat gold representing power, 18-karat rose gold reflecting horror, and 18-karat green gold depicting the hardships of life – add profound meaning to the masterpiece.
Lady Midday, the midday demon, symbolizes the lethal dangers of the scorching sun and the injustice it brings in death to the innocent laborers in the fields. This artwork is also a subtle reference to the legendary monster hunter – the Witcher, a character created by Andrzej Sapkowski. In the Witcher universe, Lady Midday becomes one of the specters that the Witcher must overcome to save the innocent from a frightful demise.
The scarecrow, on the other hand, symbolizes human fears and ingenuity in combating natural forces. Together, they tell a tale of life and death, work and rest, fear and bravery, reminding us of the ongoing struggle between man and nature.
This unique knife, brimming with magic and mystery, is packaged in a dedicated wooden box and a sheath by Robbins Custom Cases, accentuating its exclusive character. It's a work of art and a tool combined, carrying echoes of ancient stories and legends, perfect for connoisseurs and collectors.

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.
