Mantis Knives is an American knife brand founded in 2005 by Jared West in Anaheim Hills, California, and debuted at the 2006 SHOT Show. The company specializes in compact tactical and gentleman's folders with manual and assisted-opening mechanisms, often built around hawkbill, karambit, and balisong silhouettes in stainless and Damascus steels. The mantis-head logo came to West during a business class at Loyola Marymount University in 2001. The brand sits in the enthusiast pocket-knife space alongside makers like Spyderco and Microtech, with smaller production runs and a heavier emphasis on unconventional blade geometry. Supreme has collaborated with Mantis on a coin-style folding knife.
