Lerman Custom Knives Hydra

Predatory custom knife Hydra with brocade Damasus

Lerman Custom Knives Hydra is perfection from Israeli knifemaker Lee Lerman. Supercars, medieval oriental knives, antique tools, and even the human form - that's where Lee took inspiration for designing the Hydra.

The flipper is fabulous, like the monster that gave him his name. Lee Lerman is a former carpenter, so for him, high functionality is the essence of any tool (be it a chisel or a custom flipper). Lee Lerman often uploaded a video where the Hydra cuts along a human hair with a sharp blade.

For the sharpness of the cutting edge, we thank the knifemaker's skill and Damasteel Damascus. The pattern of this steel looks like a mountain range from a bird's-eye view. Damascus is also used for scales of the handle.

The ergonomic curves of the handle ensure that the Hydra does not slip out of your hand. In addition, a rare type of bolster lock guards your safety. This titanium mechanism reliably controls the course of the blade. This lock is an analog of a liner lock, but more technologically complex and material-intensive. The liner and the bolster are united, they are made from a single titanium billet.

The deployment is a real pleasure. The finger barely has time to touch the fin, as the knife is already open. The flight of a curved blade is meaningless to describe, it must be seen and felt.

The Hydra knife is devilishly beautiful and damn functional. Such a reliable and handsome friend is equally appropriate in the pocket of both suit trousers and jeans; it will look organic on the banker's desk and next to the gearshift lever of the Lamborghini.

This knife is part of the collection of the Maria Stalina Knives store.
