Herman Mantis - Titanium - Shiny Stonewash M398 Blade # 0496

M398 Linerlock with Titanium Handles

The Mantis from Herman Knives is a modern take on the classic Bowie knife, built for collectors and enthusiasts who want premium materials in a folding format. Its bold, sweeping lines give it a distinctive profile among high-end folders.

Blade

The 3.70" blade is made from M398, a super-premium powder steel from Bohler with extremely high edge retention and corrosion resistance, exceeding even M390. The shiny stonewash finish adds light texture while keeping maintenance simple. At 0.1299" thick, the blade balances a fine edge with enough structure for demanding use.

Handle

Titanium handles are lightweight, naturally corrosion resistant, and durable over years of carry. The Mantis also features a ceramic detent ball along with a tungsten carbide insert on the lock face and a tungsten carbide stop pin, added details that improve long-term wear resistance at the lock interface. Total weight comes in at 4.94oz.

Carry

The linerlock is a simple, proven mechanism - a spring-tensioned liner shifts behind the blade tang to hold it open, and is pushed aside to fold the blade closed. The pocket clip is set up for right-hand, tip-up carry only.

Made in Poland.
