Bestech Sledgehammer BG31 FAQ

The Bestech Sledgehammer BG31 series is a compact, utility-driven EDC folder built for daily work tasks. Combining a stout blade profile with rugged handle materials, it offers dependable performance in a pocket-friendly footprint.

What kind of blade shape does the Bestech Sledgehammer have?
The Bestech Sledgehammer features a snub-nosed tanto blade shape with a blunt, nearly squared-off tip. While it is not a true chisel grind, the flat, angular front edge allows for strong, controlled push cuts, while a subtle belly along the primary edge handles standard slicing tasks.
What blade steel is used on the Bestech Sledgehammer series?
The Bestech Sledgehammer series uses D2 tool steel for its blades. D2 is a highly popular, budget-friendly steel known for its excellent edge retention and wear resistance, making it well-suited for a hard-use utility folder.
How thick is the blade on the Bestech Sledgehammer?
The blade thickness of the Bestech Sledgehammer is 0.12 inches, which is nearly a full eighth of an inch. This robust spine thickness provides extra strength, allowing you to put more pressure behind the blade during demanding cuts.
What handle materials and construction are used in this series?
The Sledgehammer series features textured handle options, including micarta and milled G10, built over full-length steel liners. To keep the knife lightweight, the front liner is fully skeletonized, while the lock-side liner features a single skeletonized hole beneath the scale.
Does the Bestech Sledgehammer have a flipper tab?
No, the Bestech Sledgehammer does not feature a flipper tab and instead deploys using dual thumb studs. Eliminating the flipper tab results in a streamlined, compact closed profile that easily slips into a pocket or tool belt without snagging.
