This is not Bestech. This is a Beast! This knife is as slender as a snake, as fast as a snake, and as sharp as a snake's fangs. The carbon fiber scales look like snake skin. The handle fits perfectly in the hand and allows for precise operation. The slim blade has an almost full flat grind. And the steel reflects and splits the light like tiny crystals. The assisted opening is lightning fast. You just wish it had an axle-lock instead of a liner-lock, so you could click, click, click it both ways. But the implemented liner-lock is also fantastic. It works smoothly, and when closing the blade, there is a noticeable resistance point, probably so you have time to move your fingers out of the way. The knife arrived in a beautiful zippered pouch with pockets. In one pocket was the knife, and in the other a microfiber cloth. I think it would also be a good idea to include a few adhesive bandages with the pouch. In summary, I recommend it—it's beautiful. And menacing :)

Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel
The blade utilizes advanced Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, engineered by the renowned Swedish manufacturer Sandvik and highly regarded for its superior performance characteristics. Offering high hardness, this steel maintains outstanding corrosion resistance and edge retention. Through precise heat treatment, the steel attains a hardness of 55-62 HRC, ensuring an ideal balance of sharpness, durability, and wear resistance.
Straight-Back blade with Blackwash finish, jimping
Featuring a Straight-Back profile, the blade measures 97 mm in length with a thickness of 3.8 mm. A smooth cutting edge is created through a flat grind technique. Finished by the Blackwash method, the blade presents a matte, even texture that enhances camouflage and protects against light scratches during operation. The spine includes jimping (notching) at the thumb rest to provide greater tool control during use.
anti-slip G10 laminate handle, titanium clip
The handle features a construction of G10 laminate, made by layering fiberglass and bonding it with epoxy resin. Offering exceptional strength, resistance to moisture, and a lightweight profile, this material is well-suited for demanding conditions. Enhanced finger grooves provide superior grip and control, even when hands are wet or dirty. For convenient carrying, a springy titanium clip allows secure attachment to a belt, pocket, or gear loop.
Liner Lock, flipper and thumb hole
The blade deploys via a flipper, which, once the knife is open, functions as a compact cross guard to shield fingers from sliding forward, or with the use of the thumb hole. Ball bearings integrated into the main pivot ensure smooth deployment. In the open configuration, a Liner Lock provides secure blade locking.

Interesting, unusual, somewhat futuristic design. The materials and mechanism are very good for this price. The knife is large but slim. It's comfortable to carry every day. I recommend it.
