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 :)

Polish project
Grzegorz "Kombou" Grabarski is an acclaimed Polish knife designer whose work is influenced by pop culture, video games, nature, and biomechanics.

Knives brand marked a significant milestone, and now his creations, produced in partnership with Bestech Knives, are highly esteemed by collectors around the world.
stainless steel Sandvik 14C28N
Forged from advanced Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, engineered by the renowned Swedish manufacturer Sandvik, the blade is highly regarded for its outstanding practical qualities. The steel boasts impressive hardness, complemented by exceptional corrosion resistance and edge retention. When subjected to appropriate heat treatment, it attains a hardness range of 55-62 HRC, providing an ideal combination of sharpness, robustness, and resistance to wear.
Straight-Back blade with satin finish, jimping
Equipped with a Straight-Back profile, the blade measures 97 mm in length and 3.8 mm in thickness. A smooth cutting edge and flat grind ensure precise cutting performance. The blade’s surface is treated using the satining method, resulting in a semi-matte finish that enhances scratch resistance. Along the spine at the thumb rest area, jimping provides improved grip for greater control during use.
non-slip G10 laminate handle, titanium clip
The handle is crafted from G10 laminate, a material composed of fiberglass layers fused with epoxy resin. Renowned for its exceptional strength, moisture resistance, and lightweight properties, this material excels in demanding conditions. Finger grooves deliver improved grip and handling, even when hands are wet or soiled. For ease of transport, a springy titanium clip enables secure attachment of the knife to a belt, pocket, or gear.
Liner Lock, flipper and thumb stud
Opening the blade is achieved using a flipper, which, once deployed, acts as a small cross guard to prevent fingers from slipping onto the blade, or by using a thumb stud. A ball bearing positioned in the knife's main axis ensures a smooth deployment. Once open, the blade is secured in place by the Liner Lock mechanism.

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.
