- Step Brown Micarta, Black Stonewashed, a modified tanto blade knife designed by Denis Simonutti with precision, durability and a secure grip in mind. Full tang construction with D2 steel and Micarta handle, ideal for EDC and outdoor tasks.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Step Brown Micarta, Black Stonewashed is the result of Bestech 's collaboration with Italian designer Denis Simonutti, known for his minimalist, functional concepts and distinct approach to functional form. The compact but robust fixed blade design combines high functionality, material durability and usable ergonomics, making it a tool designed for field work, tactical operations and everyday carry. Blade made of durable D2 tool steel offers exceptional edge retention and abrasion resistance - features valued by users who use the tool intensively. Thanks to its modified tanto profile, the design guarantees increased tip control and strength for cuts that require more forceful pressure. The black stonewashed finish reduces reflections and emphasizes precision craftsmanship. The Micarta composite handle provides a high level of grip and resistance to the elements. Its ergonomic milling improves blade control even in demanding environments. It comes with a kydex plastic sheath, allowing the knife to be carried comfortably and safely in vertical, horizontal or slanted orientation - ideal for EDC enthusiasts , bushcraft enthusiasts and off-road operators.
Denis Simonutti, born in 1986 in Maniago, is an Italian designer and knifemaker from Friuli. He has been active in the knife industry since 2010 and is known as the inventor of the Fingers Safe Opening System locking system . His passions are mountaineering and photography, which he combines with his design skills to create knives with unique design and functionality. He works with the Fox brand for which he designed the “The Claw” series of Karambit knives, combining oriental style with practical use.
D2 - a high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 58-60 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.
Blade - with a modified tanto profile allows precise tip operations and strong cuts. D2 steel offers excellent edge retention and wear resistance, making the knife suitable for tasks requiring durability. The flat grind promotes smooth penetration of the blade into the material, and the Black Stonewashed finish masks minor scratches and protects the blade. Additional functional elements, such as milling on the back (jimping) and finger indentation, improve control for precision tasks.
Handle - made of Micarta composite is characterized by resistance to impact, moisture and changing weather conditions. Its texture and symmetrical undercuts enhance grip confidence, regardless of the situation. The full tang construction ensures structural integrity and increases stability during heavy use. Sheath made of kydex, compatible with a number of mounting systems, allows the knife to be carried comfortably and discreetly - either on a belt or on a mount. This is a perfectly balanced tool for everyday use and tactical field applications.
