The quality of workmanship, milling pattern, and the fit of all elements are at an extremely high level. A solid piece of knife that impresses even more once you hold it in your hand. I recommend giving it a try.
Folding multi-purpose knife equipped with a Drop-Point blade. The model’s distinctive design draws inspiration from reptilian scales—“Buwaya” translates to crocodile in Filipino Tagalog. Created by Grzegorz "Kombou" Grabarski in partnership with Rafał Brzeski (Brr Knives).
Blade precision-crafted from powdered M390 stainless steel, renowned for exceptional toughness along with superior resistance to wear and corrosion. The blade undergoes hardening to a 58-60 HRC rating. A black, matte finish provides a protective, non-reflective coating for the edge. Jimping on the blade spine, positioned where the thumb naturally rests, improves handling and control during use.
Deployment is achieved through a flipper that simultaneously acts as a finger guard. The Frame Lock mechanism secures the blade. Rapid and seamless blade action is made possible by a ball bearing system integrated into the knife’s pivot.
Handle scales, shaped for ergonomic comfort, are constructed from 6AL4V titanium. A titanium pocket clip facilitates easy attachment to a belt, pocket edge, or tactical gear. An integrated lanyard hole at the handle end provides additional carrying options.
Set includes:
- nylon zippered sheath,
- cleaning cloth,
- user manual and sticker,
- box

The craftsmanship is of the highest level. Excellent materials are used both for the handle and the blade of the knife. It will work well both as a collector's item and for actual use.

I heard many positive things about this knife in English-language media. The fact that it was designed by Grzegorz "Kombou" Grabarski, a Polish knifemaker, was definitely a factor in my decision to buy it. As a knife collector, I divide knives into two groups: workhorses (the ones I use for lots of heavy tasks without mercy) and men's jewelry (for light tasks like cutting cardboard, opening packages, slicing food). The Bestech Knives Buwaya is definitely a piece of jewelry, though it would be a perfect workhorse too... but it's too expensive for that. The handle is excellent, made of titanium, very comfortable, ergonomic, and handy; it fits in hand like it was custom-made. The handle also serves as a framelock. The knife is built on bearings that release the blade from the titanium handle in a very smooth, mechanically unburdened way, quickly, and with a satisfying snap like cocking a firearm. When opened, it delivers everything I like most: drop point, guard, and jimping... and that slightly scaly, arched handle – all this makes it the perfect knife. The knife resembles a crocodile lurking with just its eyes above water, looking for a meal (apparently, "Buwaya" means crocodile in the Philippine Tagalog language). The materials it's made from are top shelf: titanium and M390 powder (cutting with this steel is an adventure, it's rough and aggressive, you feel it with every move). There's also an unusual triangular hole for a paracord lanyard, which can even be used as a glass breaker and functions as a backspacer, all made of titanium. The titanium clip is the cherry on top. I sincerely recommend it both as a working knife and as jewelry for a real man; it's also a gentleman's folder.

Great knife. The materials of both the handle and the blade are top-notch. Beautifully finished in a brutal and raw style. Overall, it's excellent. I recommend it.
