BTKBG54E: BG54E Tardis Folding Knife - Red and Black G10
Bestech Knives
The Bestech Knives Tardis is a mid-size folding knife designed by Ostap Hel brings Ostap's solid design choices and applies his twist to the popular cleaver-style blade. Despite the width of the blade it manages to disappear into the handle while the knife is closed. The D2 blade trends a bit towards a sheepsfoot design with the slight rounding of the end of it and excels at all of the little tasks you might encounter daily. D2 is a popular and reliable choice for budget and EDC knives and shows great durability in everyday use. The handles of the Tardis come in a variety of colors of G10 that offer excellent control even in wet conditions and feature a groove along the spine that continues into the blade in a continuous line. Comfortable to use and endlessly functional, the Tardis is certainly bigger on the inside.

Beautiful Knife
This knife is razor sharp and beautiful. The only downside (besides being called the Tardis and not coming in the correct blue) is the blade falls very easy once unlocked. Be very careful when closing.

I'm starting to really like this knife
When you break it down this is an inexpensive no BS knife. Solid build, great action, good steel & a blade that is more EDC friendly than you might think. It has a good balance & feels good in the hand. It's designed by Ostap Hell who designs some very cool knives & it's relatively inexpensive. This is an EDC worthy of consideration and the red handles are really cool.
