Hanwei Praying Mantis Katana (SH2359) |
Points: 55
|
The Praying Mantis is a symbol of cunning and power in Japanese culture and is consequently a highly respected theme in Samurai swords. Built on our new L6/Bainite blade (detailed below) in the Shobu Zukuri style with Bo-Hi, and featuring superb koshirae, the Praying Mantis is a very desirable and functional piece. The subdued green silk ito and deep brown of the lacquered saya provide handsome contrast to the dark copper and golden accents of the tsuba, fuchi and kashira. The stalking mantis lies in wait for his next prey, mirroring the power and grace in this exceptional katana.

Mantis Knives Picker I (MU3) |
Points: 2
|
This is the first neck knife that we ever dreamt up. Its got fully serrated blade and a false edge on the back side. Its constructed of our high carbon, 420HC stainless steel, and the skeleton-style design allows the user to wear the tool effortlessly due to its lightweight, and it doubles as a detent for the sheath. The actual blade is 1.5 long, and the whole package is just under 6 when sheathed. Its a perfect tool for rope cutting, or as a last line of defense. Sold Out

Mantis Knives Pry Bar (MF1) |
Points: 4
|
This tactical fixed blade knife was inspired by the boys at the Multi Jurisdictional ERT out in Kokomo, Indiana. This tool rounds out the MANTIS line as our very largest blade. At 9.5, its exotic grind lines and random divot symmetry give the Pry Bar its wild style. Trust me when I say that this knife has been though it all. Its been used for tasks that knives should never be used for, yet the MF-1 prevails. Sold Out

Mantis Knives Gris (MF1B) |
Points: 4
|
The "Gris" is the offspring of the MF-1 and our newfound love of the bead-blast process. We found that with a lot of creativity and a little experimentation, we could create an entirely different personality for our "Go To" fixed blade. The heritage of the MF-1 is such that the price will always be within reach to those who are REALLY using this knife. It's hard to believe that a knife with such a simple design can evoke such interest among knife lovers. Sold Out

Mantis Knives Con Brillo (MF1C) |
Points: 4
|
The "Con Brillo" scratches the itch that we get EVERY time we leave a custom knife show.
While inside one of these shows, we're bombarded with precious stones, amazing filework and high-lustre metal. The only problem with these amazing pieces of art is the price tag...until now.
We polished this beauty to an amazing lustre. It's as close to 'mirror' as anyone in knife manufacturing has ever been, and now it can be yours. Sold Out

Mantis Knives The Principal (TA2CM) |
Points: 4
|
The TA-2 knife made its debut as a hunting knife, but we quickly found that it was lusted after by many tactical users as well. The ZR-Rated tire rubber handle, coupled with the deep-sweep belly design make the knife a new take on a classic silhouette.
Adding one of Americas super-steels into the mix has just changed the rules of the game. The TA-2CM features 154CM for some of the best edge retention and overall strength that a knife user can find.
Finally, we bead-blasted the blade and tang thus offering the TA-2CM model in two different configurations. Sold Out
