It takes a bit of developing muscle memory to open it this way, but after that it is a lot of fun. A decent, inexpensive knife that will be sufficient as an EDC for almost anyone.

Bestechman Smuga by Grzegorz "Kombou" Grabarski Folding Knife - Black/Carbon
A lightweight folding EDC knife designed by Grzegorz “Kombou” Grabarski, featuring a blade made of AEB-L stainless steel and black G10 laminate scales with a decorative carbon fiber pattern. The blade can be opened using a front flipper or a blade hole, and the mechanism is supported by ceramic ball bearings. The blade is locked by a Liner Lock, while the deep-carry clip allows discreet knife carry.
Polish design
Grzegorz “Kombou” Grabarski is a well-known Polish knife designer who draws inspiration from pop culture, video games, nature, and biomechanics, combining modern design with futuristic, organic forms. He has collaborated with the Brrr... Knives brand, and his designs are currently created in cooperation with Bestech Knives and have gained international recognition among collectors.
AEB-L steel with a hardness of 61–62 HRC
The blade is made of AEB-L stainless steel, hardened to 61–62 HRC and subjected to cryogenic treatment. The material is characterized by good corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and the ability to maintain a sharp cutting edge.
Drop-Point blade, flat grind
The Drop-Point blade is 90,2 mm long and 3,2 mm thick. It features a flat grind, which supports efficient cutting through material. The surface is finished using the Stonewashed method, giving the blade a subdued, utilitarian appearance and helping to mask minor signs of use.
G10 laminate scales, Deep Carry clip
The handle scales are made of black G10 laminate with a decorative carbon fiber pattern. The material retains the performance properties of G10, such as high mechanical resistance and low susceptibility to moisture, while the pattern gives the handle a more technical look. The knife is equipped with a deep-carry Deep Carry clip in a tip-up configuration, which can be mounted on the right or left side.
Liner Lock, two opening methods
The blade can be opened using a front flipper or a blade hole. Smooth mechanism operation is supported by ceramic ball bearings. Once opened, the blade is secured by a Liner Lock, which protects against accidental folding during use.

PVC coating
PVC coating is a type of finish or covering for material made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a popular plastic. It is flexible and provides products with a durable layer of protection against water, wind and other external factors.
AEB-L
AEB-L is a martensitic stainless steel developed by the Swedish steelworks Uddeholm in the 1960s, originally intended for the production of razor blades, and today widely used in cutlery. The carbon content (0.67%) enables high hardness and excellent edge sharpness, while chromium (13%) provides good corrosion resistance while maintaining a fine-grained structure. Manganese (0.6%) and silicon (0.4%) improve hardenability and dimensional stability after heat treatment, while low phosphorus and sulfur content reduce material brittleness. The wide range of hardening allows the hardness to be precisely adjusted to the specific application: from delicate scalpels (64-65 HRC) to durable outdoor knives (58-60 HRC).
G10
G10 is a lightweight and extremely durable material, considered one of the best for knife production. It is created by pressure-pressing fiberglass with phenolic resin, which gives it high durability and resistance to mechanical damage. It is chemically inert, does not conduct electricity, and retains its properties at both low and high temperatures. In terms of parameters, it is similar to carbon fiber, but its production is much cheaper. G10 handles are manufactured by precision cutting and cutting, which increases the cost of processing but ensures a perfect fit and long knife life.
Stonewash
Stonewash is a blade finishing technique that involves treating steel in a drum filled with stones, ceramic abrasives, or beads. The impact of the material creates a characteristic, irregular pattern with micro-scratches, giving the effect of a matte, slightly “aged” surface with a raw, practical appearance. The finish gives the knife an aesthetic look and masks minor scratches and marks that occur during use, keeping the blade looking like new for longer. The matte texture reduces light reflections, which is valued in tactical and outdoor knives, and the micro-scratches can further reduce friction during cutting. Due to its durability, discreet appearance, and ease of maintenance, stonewash is popular in EDC, field, and tactical knives.
