BTKBG36A: BG36A Operator Flipper Knife
Bestech Knives
The Operator is a surprisingly hefty offering from the G10 line of Bestech flipper knives. The knife has a large Wharncliffe blade made from a 0.15" thick piece of D2 steel, a favorite for their G10 line of knives. D2 holds up well under heavy use and the thickness of the blade really allows you to put some power behind your cuts. It's a real chopper. The blade is deployed via a flipper tab or a finger hole milled from the blade profile and rockets open thanks to the ceramic bearing construction of the pivot. The beefy G10 handles are milled to accommodate the hand with a large finger groove and provide a non-slip grip thanks to the subtle texturing. The knife locks up with a sturdy liner mechanism and comes with a stainless steel pocket clip. This knife is a beast of a flipper that makes a great addition to Bestech's offerings.

It's all about the blade here...
Nothing fancy here. This is a big ol' blade with good steel at this price point. Fit & finish are good for this style of knife. The action is smooth with a great "snap" on lockup. The blade is heavy yet deploys very easily. Mine came sharp & even out of the box. I think this a really good knife for the $$ & that big Wharncliffe blade is sweet. The knife feels good in my size XL hands & carries well in the pocket. If you are looking for something that can take a daily beating look no further.

High quality cheekiness
Pros: Fit, finish, hand feel, ease of deployment. A far better knife than one might expect at this price point. Hilariously oversized blade, but that's the "point". Great Wharncliff/modified sheepsfoot whatever blade. Easy to sharpen & fits surprisingly well in the pocket. A real bruiser of a knife well done.Cons: The principal won't like it
