This is a top-shelf knife – excellent quality of workmanship, precise fit of the components, outstanding sharpness, the knife opening system is amazing, you can feel the quality from the start – the knife came in nice packaging – perfect for a gift. It's almost a shame to use it outdoors – I will definitely buy another one, I recommend it.
Trollsky Knives Mandu XL by Michał Sielicki 14C28N Folding Knife - Satin/Black G10
Engineered for adaptability, this folding knife is a creation of the acclaimed Polish designer Michał Trollsky. The XL edition is equipped with an enlarged blade, a reliable Liner Lock system, and a Deep Carry pocket clip, delivering enhanced practicality and comfort for daily carry.
Polish project
Trollsky, also known as Michał Sielicki, stands among the most prominent Polish knifemakers, enjoying worldwide recognition. Each piece is handcrafted, with a focus on 80CRV2 steel and upcycled materials. The iconic chili pepper emblem marks every model—whether a unique custom piece or a collaborative creation with Bestech Knives.
Drop-Point blade, 14C28N steel, jimping
The Drop-Point blade measures 91 mm in length and is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, providing excellent edge retention, superior corrosion resistance, and easy resharpening. Heat-treated to a 59–60 HRC hardness, the blade features a satin finish that imparts a semi-matte appearance. The spine of the blade is equipped with jimping (serrations) at the thumb rest to enhance grip and blade control during cutting tasks.
flipper, liner Lock mechanism
Deployment of the knife is accomplished via a flipper, which also functions as a guard to prevent the hand from slipping onto the cutting edge once the blade is engaged. The Mandu XL version features a robust Liner Lock system that firmly holds the blade in the open position. For added security, the lock also inhibits unintended blade opening during transport.
Profiled handle, steel clip
A ergonomically contoured handle ensures a stable and secure hold. The handle scales are crafted from lightweight yet rugged G10 laminate in black, offering strong resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and most solvents and acids. A robust, flexible deep-carry pocket clip positioned in the tip-up orientation allows for comfortable and discreet carry.
