Bestech Slasher Black Micarta, Stonewashed D2 Knife (BG56A-1)

Slasher Black Micarta, Stonewashed compact EDC folding knife. Made with characteristic Bestech care. Micarta grips on the handle, Blade made of proven D2 tool steel, all at a great price!

D2 - a high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 59-60 HRC. With a high chromium content of 13.0% (Cr), it offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combines strength, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. Features high wear resistance due to high carbide content in the microstructure.

Bar Lock - a transverse bar that moves horizontally in longitudinal cutouts in the steel side plates of the handle frame. When the knife is opened, the locking bar overlaps the back of the blade from above, preventing its return movement. This beam is pressed down by two springs. Unlocking is done by pulling back the locking bar, the ends of which are accessible through cutouts in the grips on the sides of the Handle grips. In the locked position, the bar presses against the cam surface at the rear of the blade, preventing it from opening on its own. Advantages of the Bar Lock include resistance to contamination, practical insensitivity to dynamic loads, ease of operation with both right and left hands, and lightweight operation.

Blade - reverse tanto type, finished with a scratch-masking bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles. The gentle curve of the cutting edge converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a dual thumb stud in the wedge on both sides. A section of the back of the wedge is covered with upper jimping, a notched thumb rest for easy control of the knife. The whole thing is locked with the proven and popular bar lock.

Handle - grips made of Micarta, a practically indestructible plastic that is insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage Chamfered edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges and characteristic texturing of the surface improves grip security. The solid backspacer to which the grips are attached guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. The two-position (right/left) clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position, with the tip of the blade upwards.
