Bestech Knives Mantidae Folding Knife Black Stonewash Serrated 14C28N Hawkbill/Black Micarta BG60F

The Bestech Mantidae takes a no-compromise approach to compact cutting power, combining aggressive blade geometry with tough, field-ready materials. The 2.94" Hawkbill blade is forged from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel and features a fully serrated edge—perfect for slicing through rope, webbing, or fibrous materials with ease. A blackwashed finish adds a stealthy look while enhancing wear resistance and minimizing glare in low-light situations.

The handle scales are crafted from rugged black Micarta, offering a secure grip with a natural texture that holds firm in wet or dirty conditions. Micarta's strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for heavy-duty use without adding unnecessary bulk. The handle is shaped with subtle contouring for a confident grip, while nested stainless steel liners provide solid structure without sacrificing comfort.

Smooth deployment comes from a front flipper and ceramic ball bearing pivot, giving the knife quick, fluid action straight from the pocket. A liner lock ensures the blade stays firmly in place once open. At 3.94" closed and weighing just right for daily carry, the Mantidae disappears in the pocket until it’s needed. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps it riding deep and secure for right-hand tip-up carry.
