Ostap Hel Designs Mini Dundee BMK03D Stonewash / Satin D2 Grey G10 by Bestechman is a smaller version of the bestseller, Dundee. This versatile EDC (Everyday Carry) folding knife was created through a collaboration between Polish knifemaker Ostap Hel and the Bestechman brand. The folder is designed for universal utility, made from durable materials, and positioned in a highly attractive price range. The mini version is even more compact than the standard model. When folded, the Mini Dundee fits entirely in a closed hand, making it ideal as a summer knife for lightweight shorts. Despite its small size, it feels comfortable in hand, with no sense that it’s too small to grip properly.

The Dundee Folding Knife for Every Occasion
Durable and Practical Blade Made from D2 Steel
D2 steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. D2 is often referred to as the “least rust-prone” steel among rust-prone steels. Its combination of strength, excellent edge retention, and ease of sharpening make it an excellent choice. It’s highly wear-resistant yet easy to sharpen, making it highly favored by users.
Clip Point Blade – Versatility for EDC
The blade of the knife features a clip point profile with a long and comfortable cutting edge. The stonewashed blade (3.0 mm thick) paired with a high flat grind provides excellent cutting edge geometry for great cutting performance. Opening the blade is assisted by ceramic ball bearings and a classic flipper, which acts as a guard to prevent slipping onto the cutting edge once opened. The blade spine features jimping for thumb support, and a double-sided fuller runs along the length of the blade for added strength. For operational safety, the knife is equipped with a sturdy liner lock mechanism to prevent accidental closure during use.
Durable G10 Handle
The knife handle is made of G10 composite material, a combination of fiberglass with synthetic resin and color pigment. The handle scales have a textured surface for a secure grip even in wet conditions. Chamfered edges provide comfort and usability, while finger grooves enhance stability. The open-backed construction with steel spacer tubes reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. The handle also features a stainless steel clip for tip-up carry, allowing the knife to be carried in the pocket with the blade tip facing upward.
