New improved bearing system.
Washers made of M390 powder metallurgy steel further enhance the already exceptional operation of our knives. Every stage of production has been optimized to ensure even greater precision, durability, and, most importantly, the smoothness of our knives.
Washer manufacturing process:
M390 steel is machined in-house on our Swiss-type lathe Citizen Cincom A20, where the bar stock is processed and pre-drilled.
Washer dimensions: Inner diameter 5.05 mm, outer diameter 11.95 mm; (for Bee and Micro Sting models: outer diameter 9.95 mm).
25 mm-long rods undergo vacuum heat treatment to 60 HRC, reducing material stress and minimizing the risk of deeper blade scratches and ceramic ball fractures.
After hardening, washers are machined using EDM (Electro Discharge Machining) on our Mitsubishi MV1200R wire EDM machine, allowing precise inner hole execution.
They are then wire-cut into 0.6 mm-thick slices, and final wire processing minimizes surface roughness.
Final manual lapping, up to a 4000-grit finish, gives the washers an almost mirror-like surface, ensuring even smoother bearing operation.
All these processes are carried out entirely in-house by Herman Knives.

The custom Herman Knives pivot was fully designed and manufactured in our workshop. Built on the TORX T20 system, the construction features a newly developed thread with an increased diameter and reduced pitch, resulting in higher precision and smoother pivot adjustment. This solution minimizes the risk of play and ensures more stable settings.
The component is made of 440C stainless steel, vacuum-hardened to 56–58 HRC. The vacuum hardening process guarantees a uniform steel structure, excellent dimensional stability, and increased wear resistance. Thanks to this, the pivot offers long-lasting durability and retains its properties even under intensive use.
The screws are made of vacuum-hardened stainless steel. All three components are produced in-house by Herman Knives on our Swiss-type automatic lathe.
Bearings with increased stability
Based on years of experience, the new bearings feature a caged design with 16 ceramic balls. Their well-thought-out and tested structure effectively prevents ball displacement while ensuring optimal smoothness of operation.
