Völkl Mantra 88 W Skis 2026
The Völkl Mantra 88 W Skis 2026 are powerful women’s all-mountain / frontside skis with an 88 mm waist, 3D Radius Sidecut, and metal/carbon reinforcement—built for strong skiers who want serious edge grip, high-speed stability, and groomer-crushing performance that can still handle mixed terrain.
Why the Mantra 88 W Stands Out
- Groomer specialist with all-mountain range: An 88 mm waist and approx. 134–88–114 mm sidecut deliver lightning-fast edge-to-edge response on hardpack while staying composed in late-day chop, firm bumps, and the occasional off-piste detour.
- 3D Radius Sidecut: Three different radii blended along the ski—longer in the tip and tail with a shorter mid-body radius—let you switch between short, snappy turns and long, GS-style arcs just by changing edge angle and pressure.
- Tailored Titanal Frame: Length-specific Titanal along the perimeter and underfoot adds huge torsional rigidity, damping, and edge hold without making the ski feel dead or sluggish.
- Tailored Carbon Tips: Precisely placed carbon fibers in the shovel sharpen tip engagement, reduce chatter, and trim swing weight so the ski feels quicker into the turn.
- Multilayer wood core: A poplar/beech core balances strength and damping with a smooth, confidence-inspiring feel underfoot, even when you’re pushing the speed limit.
- Tip & tail rocker with camber underfoot: Rocker in the tip and tail makes turn initiation easier and helps in variable snow, while traditional camber underfoot keeps a long, grippy edge on ice and firm groomers.
- Full sidewall + sintered base: Full ABS sidewalls drive your input straight to the edges for precise control, and the P-Tex 2100 sintered base is fast and durable when regularly waxed.
Ideal For
The Mantra 88 W is ideal for advanced and expert women who love carving groomers, skiing fast, and feeling locked into the snow. It’s perfect if you spend most of your time on-piste but still want a ski that can handle bumps, crud, and occasional off-trail laps without getting knocked around.

How It Compares
The Mantra 88 W essentially takes over from the Kenja/Secret 88, keeping the same metal-heavy construction and groomer-focused personality but updating the geometry with Völkl’s 3D Radius Sidecut and refined Tailored Titanal Frame and Carbon Tips. Compared to the wider Mantra 102 W or M7 Mantra W 96, the 88 W is quicker edge to edge and more frontside-focused, making it the go-to choice if your priority is carving and firm-snow confidence rather than maximum float.
Bottom Line: If you’re a strong, speed-loving skier who wants a one-ski quiver that absolutely rips groomers yet stays composed when the snow gets rough, the Völkl Mantra 88 W Skis 2026 deliver big-time precision, power, and confidence for women who like to push it.
Mount them with your favorite bindings and turn every blue and black run into your personal carving lane.

Forged Knives at a Stamped-Knife Price
Size: 18-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
Purchased as a gift for a friend suffering with an old, rusted, chipped set of cheap big-box knives.
As far as I can tell, these are one-piece forged/milled knives with a full tang... no idea how Amazon gets them so cheap. I have a set of J.A. Henckels Four-Star that were 5x the price, and these knives are almost as nice in fitment and quality. Some of the grinds at the bolster aren't quite symmetrical, but nothing that functionally affects the knife. Not show-dogs, just old reliable mutts that get you where you need to be.
Knives have a good weight and balance, not too heavy but sit well in the hand and have a nice action. The edge out of the box is only average, and the chef's knife had a decent roll to the edge out of the box. However, they sharpen easily and can take a fine edge with a little work with the steel (no word on edge longevity yet, they don't cook that often).
The shears come apart for cleaning (which is nice), although I found it a little too unstable when opening them wide, the rivet is at 90* so when taking a big bite they have a tendency to come apart rather than scissor. Changing to a design that doesn't separate until they're fully open would make them much better.
The woodblock is pine, and had a distinct pine scent out of the box (I suppose this is an area where they saved money, I would pay a premium to get a bamboo block instead). The exterior was well-finished, but the interiors of the knife slots did have some rough spots and/or splinters from the milling. Nothing that stops it from working as intended, a little back and forth solved the majority of problems.
Friend hand washed them after receiving them, but left them damp. Water spots, but no rust on any of the blades, the steel had light surface rust that came off with a scrubby sponge and soap. Overall I remain optimistic they will stand up to the abuse of a forgetful cook.
Having bought expensive German steel, and now these, I daresay I would probably be unable to tell the difference between the two in the kitchen.

This is an inexpensive quality knife set!
Size: 18-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design, Size: 18-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
I have been a Chef for 17 yrs. and from experience know you don't get quality in an inexpensive knife set. This AmazonBasics Premium set really impressed me. The knives I use and have at home are mixed matched because I like good hefty knives. My wife always rags on me that the knives look crappy, so I got on here and started reading reviews. I was not gonna spend alot of money on a set knowing that I have good knives already. Then I saw this set, and looked at the video.
I got them in TWO days, and when I opened the package I was expecting the block to be split, chipped, or have saw marks. As you can see the one I got was flawless. I then took out the chefs knife and smiled. Easily comparable to a 8" Zwilling JA Henckels Pro Traditional Chefs Knife. It has the same quality, heft, and balance. TRUST ME I KNOW!!!! Beautiful knife. The thickness of the blade is equal to my Victorinox Fibrox Chefs Knife and I paid $45. for that knife alone!!! This here is a quality product at a good price. Treat them with respect and they will last for YEARS. If your looking for a good complete set, a nice wedding gift, of just looking to replace the "crappy" set you have look no further.

Amazing for the price
Size: 9-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
At a higher price they would have been 4 or 3 stars, but for $50 this is an insane deal. The steel is pretty good quality. It almost seems like it's hardened VG-10 but I think they would advertise that if it were so I'm guessing it's a cheaper stainless steel that just comes harder without being treated though I'm just speculating based on price. Anyways they're flat ground, take an edge easily, and hold it reasonably well. Nicer knives would certainly hold an edge longer but I'm pretty happy with them. The flat ground shape of the blade is actually ever so slightly convex as well, it's not too apparent in use but you can certainly see it in the reflection. The serration on the bread knife is the inverse of what I would prefer, rounded metal with points cut into it vs points extending from the blade with the rounded parts cut out. When the rounded parts are cut out it's easy to sharpen. When the points are cut out it's almost impossible to sharpen.
The handles are the downfall of the knives. They're not smoothly finished and while they look alright they feel like a cheaply cut (although very solid) piece of plastic which is exactly what they are. A little bit better finishing on the handles would really improve the knives.
The holding block serves it's purpose well. The sharpener is ok but below average, though the rough steel rod sharpeners just aren't great to begin with. Diamond coated rods are much better, though ceramic rod sharpeners are the best.
Overall I love the knives and I'm glad I bought them. For the price they're the best deal I've ever found, no question. I love that there is no logo on them, but I just don't like to see branding in general even if it's a premium brand. If you're buying this for the bread knife or the sharpener, don't, they're not good. If you want the look and feel of a $300+ knife set, don't buy this, you'll be disappointed. If you want a good quality knife set but aren't willing to spend $300+ then absolutely buy these, they're great.
