Well sized for everyday carry. The lock, smooth mechanism, and decent steel. If you like the design and Polish designer, I recommend trying this knife.
Trollsky Knives Mandu EVO by Michał Sielicki Folding Knife, Grey Stonewashed 14C28N/OD Green G10
Engineered for versatility, this folding knife is the creation of acclaimed Polish knife designer Michał Trollsky. Marking the third and final evolution of the design, the EVO version preserves the compact form factor from its initial release, while incorporating the Liner Lock mechanism and deep carry clip introduced in the second variant, further enhancing everyday functionality and user convenience.
Polish project
Trollsky, also known as Michał Sielicki, stands as one of the most renowned Polish knife makers, highly regarded on the international scene. Dedicated solely to handcrafting, he focuses on 80CRV2 steel and reclaimed materials. Marking every creation, a distinct chili pepper logo can be found on each piece—whether it’s a custom project or a collaborative effort with Bestech Knives.
Drop Point Blade, 14C28N Steel, Jimping
Equipped with a Drop Point blade profile, the knife utilizes 14C28N stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, high resistance to corrosion, and ease of resharpening. The blade is hardened to 59-60 HRC and features a Grey Stonewashed finish, effectively reducing reflections and concealing scratches or wear marks from use. A jimping (serration) on the back of the blade provides enhanced thumb grip for improved blade control while cutting.
flipper, Liner Lock
Equipped with a flipper, the knife allows for safe deployment, serving as a guard to prevent the hand from slipping onto the cutting edge when open. The inclusion of a ceramic ball bearing mechanism ensures effortless blade deployment and smooth, fluid motion. Secure blade lock-up is provided by a robust Liner Lock, offering reliable, hassle-free, one-handed operation.
Contoured G10 handle, steel clip
Handle scales are crafted from G10 composite, known for its exceptional strength as well as resistance to moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. An ergonomically contoured handle paired with a non-slip texture provides a reliable and secure grip. For ease of carry, a steel, spring-loaded deep carry clip in the tip-up configuration ensures practical and convenient tool transport.

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.
