After the success of the Shikra design, the Besra is here to bring a little more oomph to the table. This slender sheepsfoot Cleaver is a smooth flipper with excellent ergonomics that is perfect for everyday carry. It has a very enticing profile as well as price point for a flipper of this caliber with a titanium frame lock. The deep carry pocket clip is reversible for tip-up/down, right-hand carry and the lack of liner on the presentation scale ensure it is as thin as possible. For a Cleaver EDC design, there is a new knife to beat in town.

Ontario Besra Flipper Knife 3" Black PVD Stonewash Cleaver Blade, Linen Micarta and Titanium Handles
Cons: Ease of Opening, Lock Ease of Use, Lock Type, Overall Quality
Feels like a QSP Penguin Upgrade
The overall item quality feels a bit lacking for a titanium build. The micarta scale has a nice texture and pocket slide. Unfortunately, mine has a bad lockup and if I hadn’t take a set of vice grips to it and applied enough counter pressure, it surely would have bit me good.5/10 overall
Ontario Besra Flipper Knife 3" Black PVD Stonewash Cleaver Blade, Linen Micarta and Titanium Handles
I had been looking at different knives with micarta and titanium frame lock. Also, I needed this type of edge geometry. While there is a compromise in the blade material, it was well centered in the frame, I will see how the edge holds up. My expectations are low for that, but I was blown away with the overall quality otherwise. Nice flipping action, well tuned frame lock, and ergonomics are usually reserved for higher price point knives.
