Trollsky Knives Mandu – Is it the best EDC Knife?
The Trollsky Knives Mandu is a phenomenal cutting tool designed by the renowned Polish knifemaker, Trollsky. In collaboration with Bestech, Trollsky has committed one of possibly the best folding knife designs to the EDC Warehouse hall of fame. The Mandu showcases loads of Trollsky’s defining features and combines his outstanding design and knife knowledge with Bestech’s production finesse to output one of the (we believe) best folding knives on the market today.
About Trollsky
Trollsky is one of the worlds most well known Polish knifemakers. Indeed, for years I’ve watched his forging and blacksmithing videos on YouTube! The distinctive chili logo on each blade is a mark of years of experience in the field. His designs are a regular feature of other YouTube personality’s videos and it shows that his products come highly recommended.
Due to predominantly producing knives in limited quantities, it can be quite difficult to obtain something made by him directly. Luckily, thanks to this new collaboration with Bestech, you can get one for yourself. At a fraction of the price of a custom folding knife!
The Mandu Design
The Trollsky Knives Mandu is a sleek shape overall, with wide, extremely sharp blade that features a high flat grind, false edge and dropped point. This type of shape excels at detail work without sacrificing it’s slicing performance. It comes with thumb jimping to support a strong grip and comes in a variety of finishes – some EXCLUSIVE to EDC Warehouse.
It’s kitted out with a blade flipper for deployment and super smooth pivot bearings that ensure it’s opens positively and easily. The blade pivot is adjustable with a torx driver and can be tightened or loosened off according to your requirements.
The handle is also available in a variety of styles and finishes to choose from. G10 composites, or micarta stabilized fabrics offer incredible grip in all conditions while also being resistant to fading and wear over time. It’s comfortably sculpted which prevents hot spots in hand and is also shipped with an always useful pocket clip for easy carry.
This is a UK Legal carry pocket knife! It’s non-locking, with a blade below the 3″ legal limit. It’s a perfect combination of features that all combine in possibly the best UK legal carry knife on the market.
The Blade Steel
The Trollsky Knives Mandu ships with an ever popular D2 tool steel blade. They’re slightly rust resistant, easy to sharpen, durable and affordable. The blades take a good finish, be it polished or bead blast. These really are something to be impressed by. Open and closed, the blade is held in place with ball bearings in a system known as a ‘double detent’.
