Trollsky Knives Mandu EVO by Michał Sielicki Black Stonewashed 14C28N/Black G10 Folding Knife
Engineered for adaptability, this folding knife is the creation of acclaimed Polish knife designer Michał Trollsky. Representing the third and concluding installment of the design, the EVO version preserves the compact dimensions of the original model while incorporating a Liner Lock and a deep carry clip, features introduced in the second iteration for enhanced practicality and ease of everyday carry.
Polish project
Trollsky, also known as Michał Sielicki, stands out as one of Poland’s most renowned knifemakers with global acclaim. Dedicated to handcrafting, he specializes in the use of 80CRV2 steel and repurposed materials. Marking all of his creations—including both custom pieces and collaborative works with Bestech Knives—is the signature chili pepper emblem.
Drop Point Blade, 14C28N Steel, Jimping
Featuring a Drop Point blade shape, the knife is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, superior corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The blade is hardened to 59-60 HRC and finished with a Black Stonewashed coating, which effectively reduces glare and conceals any scratches or scuffs acquired during use. A jimping (serrated section) is incorporated on the spine of the blade at the thumb rest, ensuring enhanced control during cutting tasks.
flipper, Liner Lock
Equipped with a flipper, the knife allows for swift deployment while simultaneously shielding the hand from accidental contact with the cutting edge when open. Integration of a ceramic ball bearing mechanism guarantees effortless and fluid blade action. The robust Liner Lock design reliably keeps the blade in place during use, enabling smooth function and straightforward one-handed operation.
Contoured G10 handle, steel clip
The handle scales are crafted from G10 composite, known for its exceptional strength and remarkable resistance to moisture, chemicals, and temperature extremes. Ergonomically shaped, the handle features a non-slip texture that guarantees a reliable hold in any conditions. For convenient everyday carry, a steel, spring-loaded deep carry clip in the tip-up configuration secures the tool safely.

I had other options, but when I went to the store and could compare them all, this knife definitely wins. It was noticeably heavier than the others, which makes you feel the sturdiness and that good, well-fitted materials were used.
-
I've been using it for some time now and I'm satisfied. The craftsmanship is flawless, everything fits together nicely. Very sharp straight out of the box. I recommend trying it.

Trollsky and I don't think anything more needs to be said. A class of its own. The knife is elegant, superbly made, and razor-sharp. Perfect for so-called EDC, meaning carrying in your pocket every day.

Looks good in black. Interesting design, very practical despite its unusual appearance. Stainless steel is convenient for everyday use, you don't have to worry about rusting.

Good design and great materials. Very smooth mechanics and a handle that fills the hand and is comfortable. Positive impressions after the first fitting, we'll see how it performs with longer use.
