Bestech Knives Strelit Folding Knife 2.19in Plain Dual Finish Hawkbill BG52A-2

The Bestech Knives Strelit Black brings a fresh, tactical-inspired edge to your everyday carry lineup with its compact design, smooth action, and unmistakably bold personality. A modern take on the classic karambit, this manual folder blends elegance and aggression in one lightweight, easy-to-carry package that’s built for control, speed, and style.

At the heart of the Strelit is a 2.19-inch hawkbill blade crafted from 14C28N stainless steel—a high-performance steel known for its corrosion resistance, hardness, and edge retention. The blade’s dramatic curve is more than just eye-catching; it’s incredibly effective for controlled pulling cuts, slicing, and precise utility work. The dual satin and black stonewash finish gives the blade a distinctive two-tone look that plays beautifully in the light while helping disguise everyday wear.

Deployment is lightning-fast and ultra-smooth, thanks to a flipper tab paired with a ceramic ball bearing pivot. The action is crisp and satisfying, letting you snap the blade open with minimal effort. Whether you’re handling a daily task or simply enjoying the fidget-friendly nature of a well-built folder, the Strelit delivers with consistency. The linerlock mechanism keeps the blade solidly in place once deployed, offering confidence and reliability in every use.

The handle is shaped from black G-10, giving you a secure grip with just the right amount of texture. It’s ergonomic, durable, and resistant to weather and wear, making it an ideal choice for a knife that’s meant to be used day in and day out. The compact handle is designed to offer excellent control, with a secure, balanced feel that fits naturally in your hand. As a nod to its karambit roots, the Strelit also includes a finger ring-style groove that enhances retention and handling during precision tasks.

Measuring only 3.01 inches when closed and 3.46 inches overall, the Strelit is impressively compact. At just 1.97 ounces, it’s incredibly lightweight without sacrificing strength or function. The .13-inch blade thickness gives the knife a robust feel while still maintaining the slicing capability that makes hawkbill blades so effective.

A tip-up pocket clip ensures that the Strelit stays ready at your side and discreetly tucked away until it’s needed. The clip allows for quick, secure access and keeps the profile slim for low-key carry. Whether you’re an urban adventurer, gear enthusiast, or someone who just appreciates a compact knife with tactical flair, the Strelit is the kind of blade that stands out while fitting in.
