Award Knives by Prosta Stal for Lieutenant General, Hero of Ukraine Serhiy Naiev

The Prosta Stal team was deeply honored to carry out a meaningful project that fills us with immense pride — crafting a batch of bespoke official award knives for Lieutenant General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Hero of Ukraine Serhiy Ivanovych Naiev.

For our workshop, this is both a privilege and an exceptional responsibility. Serhiy Naiev is one of those commanders whose strategic acumen, decisive leadership, and battlefield resolve played a crucial role in safeguarding Ukraine during the most demanding periods of the war.

The Award Model: "Tanto" in Classic Black

The foundation of this presentation series was our proven, uncompromising "Tanto" tactical model. The distinct tanto blade geometry provides extreme point durability, structural rigidity, and dependable slicing capability:

  • Blade Coating: Resilient, matte anti-reflective black protective finish.
  • Handle: Ergonomic tactical scales offering a sure, positive grip, complemented by a black paracord lanyard featuring a custom warrior helmet bead.
  • Individual Details: Numbered edition markers (e.g., #003), genuine Prosta Stal workshop stamps, and the motto "Together We Will Win!".
  • Engraving: The State Coat of Arms of Ukraine (Tryzub), official facsimile signature of General Serhiy Naiev, and tactical inscriptions on the blade and sheath.
  • Sheaths: Heavy-duty black kydex-style sheaths engraved with the Armed Forces Trident and configured for versatile tactical mounting.
