Collaboration with Vladyslav Heraskevych: a knife that became part of something bigger

Prosta Stal knife on the background of client patches — Ukrainian Armed Forces

After the Olympic event, when the phrase associated with Vladyslav became a symbol of dignity and stance, at Prosta Stal we decided to turn this news moment into a tool of support.

We created a unique knife based on the «Stus» model with a special engraving of the phrase connected to Vladyslav.

Knife configuration:

Model: Stus
Blade coating: polymer, color tan
Handle: cappuccino micarta
Case: color tan
Attachment: MOLLE in tan
Lanyard: a bead shaped like a Spartan helmet

On the case — a laser image of Vladyslav wearing a helmet.
The box was also branded with his phrase and graphics.

This was not just a knife.
It was a charity lot.

Initiative

We contacted Vladyslav and proposed using the knife as a lot for a future giveaway. The idea was supported.

On February 21, the giveaway took place during a livestream hosted by Serhii Sternenko with Vladyslav taking part.

Result

During the giveaway period, nearly 2,000,000 UAH was raised through donations.

An incredible amount.
And one more confirmation that strength lies in unity.

We are happy to have the opportunity to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine through our craft and our tools.

Thanks
