BTKBG27D: BG27D Mako Flipper Knife
Bestech Knives
The Mako is a workhorse folding knife, hitting just about every positive design aspect right on the head. The sizeable drop point blade is extremely versatile with nice jimping on the thumb ramp and a blood groove that is more for aesthetic than function. The milled G10 handle provides an excellent, ergonomic grip in adverse conditions and a right-hand deep carry pocket clip rounds out the design. Ceramic bearings in the pivot give the Mako quick, pleasing action while the K110 (D2) tool steel blade will outperform your daily carry needs.

Pros: Ease of Opening
Cons: Weight
Not bad but let down by the blade coating
This is not a bad knife but the shiny stonewashed finish gives the knife a cheap feeling to me, and I knew I'd never carry it the moment I flipped the blade out.Other things that stood out to me when I removed it from the package are: the thickness of the handle; the way the bearings & weight of the blade combine to allow it to swing freely between the open & closed locks and the thickness of the blade. The edge was also a bit on the dull side (that can be addressed but I prefer knives to be a bit sharper out of the box).Knowing what I know now I'd buy one with an uncoated blade. I still doubt I'd carry though; it's just too thick overall.
