A practical folding knife conceived by eight-year-old Gogo, the daughter of Bestech Knives' co-owner. Drawing inspiration from a cricket, the knife was created in partnership with acclaimed designer Ostap Hel, celebrated for his modern, minimalist aesthetics and superior functionality.
Emerging from this unique partnership is a compact folding knife that features a lightweight build and a distinctive look, merging youthful imagination with expert attention to ergonomics and everyday usability.
The blade of the knife is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, a material engineered by the Swedish manufacturer Sandvik. Careful optimization of the chemical composition ensures exceptional hardness. An optimal amount of nitrogen enhances corrosion resistance and bolsters edge retention. The inclusion of carbon delivers excellent sharpness, while chromium contributes to outstanding rust and oxidation resistance. The blade is finished with a satin polish for a refined surface.
Equipped with a blade featuring a Spear-Point design, marked by a balanced, symmetrical outline and a sharp, piercing tip, this model excels at accurate cutting and penetration tasks. Measuring 56 mm in length, the blade has a smooth cutting edge, perfectly suited for routine activities as well as light-duty outdoor applications. Crafted with a flat grind, the blade offers superior slicing capabilities, minimizes cutting resistance, and makes subsequent sharpening straightforward.
A fuller in the form of a longitudinal groove runs along the blade, enhancing not only its visual appeal but also its balance, which in turn improves handling and precision during operation.
A practical handle featuring a non-slip finish is crafted from G10 laminate, a durable blend of fiberglass and epoxy resin. For convenient everyday carry, a sturdy, spring-loaded steel clip is included and can be repositioned to either side of the handle.
Deploying the blade involves pressing a button that disengages the Button Lock system, combined with a swift flick of the wrist. A ceramic ball bearing integrated into the knife's main pivot speeds up the blade's deployment.
