About Trollsky Knives

Michael Trollsky is one of Poland’s top knife makers, recognized widely both in Poland and internationally. He’s a regular participant at the prestigious Blade Show in the U.S. Trollsky’s knives are known for their distinctive designs, featuring a recognizable chili pepper on the blade. He believes a good, functional knife should be comfortable to use for long periods without causing hand discomfort, and this philosophy is reflected in his designs. Trollsky also runs the Trollsky Knifemaking Academy, where enthusiasts can create their own knives under his guidance.

Trollsky Knives for a Wider Audience

Trollsky’s handmade knives are produced in limited numbers, which led to the idea of making his designs more widely available through a production line. This line follows Trollsky’s belief that most tasks can be done with small to medium-sized knives that balance portability and usability. This idea came to life with the first compact folding knife, Mandu, and its larger successor, the Mandu XL, produced by Bestech Knives, known for their high standards.

Mandu XL Folding Knife

Mandu XL is the folding version of Trollsky’s popular fixed-blade design. It features a Liner Lock mechanism and a Deep Carry clip for discreet pocket carry. The wide, leaf-shaped blade and comfortable handle make this knife perfect for everyday use. Compared to the double detent Mandu, the XL version is larger (8.46” vs. 7.08”), offering more power and strength for daily tasks like opening packages, preparing snacks, or even outdoor use.

Durable Blade, Easy to Maintain

Mandu XL’s drop-point blade is made from D2 tool steel, known for its excellent cutting performance and resistance to wear. D2 is low-maintenance and often referred to as “the least rust-prone among rust-prone steels.” The blade also features jimping for better thumb support during precise cuts.

Smooth Opening with Flipper and Secure Liner Lock

The Mandu XL opens effortlessly via a flipper mechanism, with ceramic ball bearings ensuring smooth action. The liner lock secures the blade when open, preventing accidental closure. The knife is easy to operate one-handed, placing it among modern folding knives.

Ergonomic Handle of Modern Material

The handle is made from G10 composite, a material resistant to moisture, temperature changes, solvents, and acids. It’s also highly durable. The ergonomic shape provides a secure grip, and the stainless steel backspacer matches the blade’s color. The knife includes a lanyard hole for attaching paracord or decorations.

Deep Carry Clip for Secure Carry

The stainless steel Deep Carry clip allows for stable, discreet pocket carry, reducing the risk of losing the knife. The clip is positioned for tip-up carry.
