Great fit and finish, super thin behind the edge(and by thin I mean Opinel like). Smooth action with lighter detent(I like it but if you dont I am sure he can adjust detent strength for you), blade falls under its own weight.
Only thing that I would change is clip it is 3D milled and is hard to get into thicker pockets.
All in all well worth it in my opinion.

I have commissioned one fixed blade from Milan, and asked for him to attempt a Hamon on it. He was successful and I loved the knife, built to my specs, very thin BTE, ran high in HRC and just a joy to carry, use and sharpen.
That being said, in an attempt of maintaining an indifferent opinion, I would search Milan Mozolic in the G,B&U section (linked below).

Sharp yes, good with edge holding (for W2), but it is thin behind the edge and built as a slicer. This it isn't built to chop a tree, pry out nails or window sills, or wedge 2x4s, but if you want a thin knife that is ready to carry, looks good, and will cut what you need cut, it will do just fine as an EDC Slicer.
Due to this, I try to keep wood, plastics, cardboard and other softer substratum as my cutting board since harder contact with steel, ceramic or glass would likely cause a chip.
If I need to chop, I normally grab an axe or my Becker BK4. If I need a daily cutter, I will grab something ran a bit harder and thinner BTE. No need in having my daily knife make my cuts harder.

Though his blades are usually thin behind the edge, his W-steels are quite tough from my experience (6" Hunter model), probably due to a combination of proper heat treatment, convex grind and narrow bevel.

I don't know what his prices are right now but lets say it was good value, please keep in mind that I am from Czech republic and he is from Slovakia and I payed in CZK.
This one is made of RWL34(I requested this steel).
