The Baba Yaga, also known as the Boogie Man, from NL Knives proves that power can come in a compact form. With its 3.2-inch ZDI “Elmax” stainless Damascus blade, MixCarbo carbon-fiber handle, and striking Timascus bolsters, this smaller custom folder delivers artistry and precision in equal measure.
Hand-crafted in Russia, the Baba Yaga embodies NL Knives’ mastery of small-format design — a compact knife that feels alive in hand.
The mirror-polished Damascus blade reveals flowing patterns forged from Zladinox’s premium ZDI “Elmax” stainless steel, offering both strength and corrosion resistance.
Its blue Chaos MixCarbo carbon-fiber scales shimmer with depth, complementing the vibrant hues of Timascus bolsters and pocket clip for a perfect contrast of modern and exotic style.
A titanium backspacer, anodized and polished to match, completes the lightweight yet luxurious construction.
Featuring a modified Wharncliffe-style blade and reliable liner-lock mechanism, the Baba Yaga cuts with surgical precision while maintaining a sleek, pocket-friendly profile.
Each knife ships in a zippered pouch with a certificate of authenticity, reflecting NL Knives’ dedication to custom perfection.
