Bestech Mantidae Green Micarta, Satin/Stonewashed F/S 14C28N by Lucas (BG60G)

Mantidae Black G10, Satin/Stonewashed after the success of the Ququ model, Gogo's older brother Lucas decided to create his own design. Designed for everyday use, the EDC knife features bold Blade lines and functionality. Handle made of durable Micarta composite provides a secure grip and resistance to mechanical damage, so it is not afraid of the challenges of intensive use. The blade is made of 14C28N steel, known for its good sharpness retention and corrosion resistance. Thanks to its precision grinding and optimal thickness, this knife offers exceptional cutting qualities, allowing easy and precise cutting of various materials. The pin-opening mechanism in the wedge, supported by ceramic ball bearings, guarantees a smooth and fast opening of the blade. Mantidae is not only a tool, but also an expression of the highest quality workmanship and innovative design, which will meet the expectations of even the most demanding users. Its compact size and light weight make it easy to carry, while always ready for action. It is an indispensable piece of equipment for anyone who appreciates reliability and elegance in one.

14C28N - Martensitic chromium stainless steel is the latest development in the range of knife steels produced by Sandvik's Swedish mills . An optimized chemical composition with a unique combination provides superior quality, excellent edge performance, high hardness and corrosion resistance. By reducing the amount of carbon 0.62% (C) and increasing the chromium content 14.0% (Cr), as well as adding nitrogen 0.11% (N), corrosion resistance has been significantly improved. Considered an improved version of 13C26 steel. Unbeatable in the price / quality category!

Blade - hawkbill type with aggressive shape, finished impressively with Two Tone method, satin-finished grinds, the rest in Stonewashed. Frogged along its entire length (Full Serrated). The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind (Flat Grind), gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearing ceramic supports the smooth operation of the blade's opening mechanism, which can be opened with a double-sided pin in the wedge (dual thumb stud). On the back of the wedge, the ramp is covered with an upper jimping, notched thumb rest for easy control of the knife. The whole thing is locked with the proven and popular liner lock.

Handle - grips made of Micarta composite , a virtually indestructible material, insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The texture of the Handle, in addition to aesthetic impressions, also has a purely practical use improving grip confidence. Attention is drawn to the contouring, which allows a firm grip in any position. Backspacer, to which the grips are attached, guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. A single-position, right-handed clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position , with the tip of the blade upward. A deep finger undercut (fore finger groove) improves grip security.
