Herman Ovium Gen 2 - Puzzle Titanium - Stonewash M398 Blade #0140

M398 Linerlock with Titanium Handles

The Ovium Gen 2 is a bold reimagining of Herman Knives' original utility folder, built from scratch rather than simply updated. Bartosz Herman designed this version with sharper lines and a more dynamic profile while keeping the compact, balanced handling that made the first Ovium a standout. It suits collectors and everyday carry users who want a large, capable blade in a handle that stays comfortable and manageable.

Blade

The 4.06" blade is made from M398, a super-premium powder steel known for exceptional edge retention and high resistance to corrosion. It holds an edge longer than most steels on the market, though it takes more effort to sharpen when the time comes. The stonewash finish hides handling marks and wear over years of use.

Handle

Titanium handles keep the knife light at just 5 ounces despite its substantial 4.06" blade. Titanium resists corrosion, won't fatigue like weaker metals, and offers a naturally warm-to-the-touch feel in hand. The design includes a ceramic detent ball along with tungsten carbide inserts on the lock and stop pin, improving durability at the points that see the most wear.

Carry

The linerlock is a traditional folding knife lock where a spring-loaded liner shifts behind the blade tang to hold it open, released with a simple push to the side. The pocket clip is set up for right-hand, tip-up carry only.

Made in Poland.
