The appeal of the project lies in its small size. Flawless execution, a high level of fit and finish. Centering is superb. The sharpness is almost too good. Practical as an EDC that disappears in the pants pocket. It fits in the fifth pocket of jeans and you practically forget about it. However, the project has a major flaw - it is only equipped with a front flipper. It's difficult to use one-handed because of the very short handle; it's hard to safely rest the knife against your palm while opening. This is somewhat ill-conceived, considering the factory sharpness and the blade geometry, it’s easy to get cut. When pressing the flipper, a lever is created and the knife tends to pop out of your hand. Unfortunately, I have to take away three stars, which is a shame because at first glance it made a good impression. Maybe with more training the situation will improve.

Compact and easily portable folding knife with a short blade crafted by renowned Polish knifemaker Ostap Hel.
Constructed from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, known for its easy sharpening, impressive edge retention, and excellent corrosion resistance. The blade surface combines a partial satin finish for a semi-matte look with the added durability of stonewash treatment.
Deployment of the blade is facilitated by a front flipper, enhanced with a ball bearing for smoother operation at the knife’s pivot. Lockup in the open position is provided by a reliable liner lock.
Handle scales, ergonomically contoured for comfort, are crafted from Pink G10 laminate with a textured surface for a solid grip, even when hands are dirty or wet. Jimping along the blade spine offers a secure resting point for the thumb during use.
Everyday carry convenience is provided by a flexible tip-up clip attached to the handle, allowing secure attachment to a belt or pocket.

Small, discreet shark tooth. ;) True - it's an expensive toy, but the materials used and the craftsmanship somehow justify the price. You really can always have this little guy with you, and it doesn't bother you even when worn as a neck pendant on a chain. Factory sharp, like crazy. You can get used to the way the blade opens, but people with big hands might have trouble.
