FOLDING KNIFE FOLDER STING 544 "DANDELION & MANTIS" ENGRAVED BY MALBA HERMAN KNIVES

With pride, we present the Sting 544 "Dandelion & Mantis," a work of not only artisanal precision but also deep artistic reflection. Crafted by the master artisans at Herman Knives and enriched with a beautiful engraving by Malba, this knife redefines the traditional concept of a tool, bridging art with functionality.

Malba, who hand-engraved the titanium components of the knife, drew inspiration from the flora and fauna of the Jasiołka Valley. The artist infused her scientific interests and personal experiences into the motifs of the dandelion and the praying mantis, which serve not merely as aesthetic embellishments but primarily narrate the inevitability of change and the passage of time. Each line, each curve on this knife, has its story and deeper meaning, resonating with the cyclicality of nature.

The blade of this exceptional knife, made from Damasteel Vinland™ stainless powder damascus, achieves a hardness level of 62 HRC, which not only testifies to its reliability but also allows one to enjoy its unparalleled cutting properties. The polished finish and intricate damascus pattern further accentuate the unique character of this piece.

May everyone who holds the Sting 544 "Dandelion & Mantis" feel not only its perfect balance and ergonomic design but, above all, the artistic soul that our craftsmen and Malba have captured within it. This knife is more than just a useful object—it is a fusion of passion, art, and craftsmanship that together create something uniquely inspiring.

This extraordinary knife is not only an excellent tool but also an object that will undoubtedly enrich any collection, adding depth and a unique, artistic expression.
