In 2017, Mr. Blade—the Russian premium EDC knife brand founded in 2015 by reviewer and enthusiast Alexey Mikhailov (Mr. Blade)—released the Ferat as a high-tech tactical folder inspired by the 1982 Czechoslovakian cult horror film "Ferat Vampire" (Upír z Feratu), where a car-like mechanical monster feeds on blood
Engineers were tasked with creating a reliable dagger-style folding knife for self-defense and urban tactical use. They opted for a sturdy liner lock (with secondary safety lock) for instant one-hand opening and maximum security. The Mr. Blade Ferat features a powerful dagger blade (often D2 tool steel, stonewash or black finish) with fuller for lateral stiffness and penetration, G10 handles for grip, steel liners, and ball bearings for smooth action—ideal for tactical EDC knives and hard-use scenarios
Debuting around 2017 (early reviews and sales noted mid-2017), it quickly gained cult status for futuristic design, tank-like build, and value (~$80–$120). Variants (serrated, black, stonewash) followed, praised in tests for durability despite extreme loads. The Ferat remains a benchmark in Russian tactical folders, blending cinematic inspiration with practical engineering
