G10 Handles
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.
D2 Tool Steel
This semi-stainless tool steel offers great value, thanks to a high degree of edge retention that can often rival more expensive steels.

This knife is FANTASTIC.
I've had this blade on my wishlist for a while, and when K.C. announced a Bestech sale, I grabbed this immediately. I knew I was gonna like it, but I didn't anticipate just how much I would LOVE it! It feels very very sturdy, with strong liners and a relatively thick spine that can be pushed a lil harder. The G10 has the perfect amount of grip, the thumbstuds deploy the blade quickly, and the action is super smooth. I love that the bright safety-orange color keeps the average laypeople at ease when being used, and the (almost) chisel-like blade shape makes it look & feel very utilitarian. I have no gripes about D2 steel, and the pocket clip has the right amount of tension. This was easily the best $40 I've ever spent on a knife!

Awesome Blade Grind
I've only had this knife a few weeks, but I've used it a lot in that time. The selling point for me is the blade design and grind - just amazing. This is the first 'near flat tip' tanto blade that I've owned, and I'm now sold on the utility of this blade shape. Super useful in daily tasks, and very strong. Also note that this is not a 'light weight' knife - it is a bit more of a heavy duty / workhorse knife. Highly recommended if you need a folding knife for heavier duty tasks, that wont weigh your pocket down too much. Great value for money.
