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 Satin Folding Knife MagnaCut/Black CarbonTex G10
A folding knife featuring a blade crafted from robust MagnaCut stainless steel, designed by the renowned Polish knife designer Michał Trollsky. Representing the third and final iteration, the EVO version maintains the compact dimensions of the original model and combines them with the addition of a Liner Lock mechanism and a deep carry pocket clip from the second version, enhancing everyday practicality and user convenience.
Polish project
Trollsky, known as Michał Sielicki, stands out as one of Poland’s most renowned knife makers with a global reputation. Dedicated to fully handcrafted production, he specializes in 80CRV2 steel and utilizes recycled materials in his work. Marking every blade, the distinctive chili pepper emblem appears on all pieces—both his custom knives and collaborations with Bestech Knives.
Drop Point Blade, MagnaCut Steel, Jimping
Featuring a Drop Point blade profile, this knife is crafted from American MagnaCut powder steel, hardened to an impressive 63-64 HRC. Exceptional abrasion and corrosion resistance set this steel apart. The flat grind of the blade delivers outstanding cutting efficiency, while a satin finish provides a semi-matte appearance. For enhanced blade control during use, jimping (textured notches) is placed along the spine where the thumb naturally rests.
flipper, Liner Lock
Opening the knife is made easy with a flipper, which also acts as a guard to prevent your hand from slipping onto the cutting edge when deployed. Precision ceramic ball bearings assist in deploying the blade and guarantee exceptionally smooth action. A robust Liner Lock mechanism keeps the blade locked open, delivering reliable security and allowing for effortless one-handed use.
Contoured G10 handle, steel clip
Handle scales feature G10 composite construction, showcasing a carbon fiber-style textured surface. Renowned for their exceptional strength, these scales offer excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. An ergonomically contoured handle with a non-slip texture guarantees a reliable, secure hold. For enhanced portability, a spring-loaded steel deep carry clip is positioned tip-up, ensuring the tool can be carried with ease.

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.
