Ostap Hel - a talented Polish knifemaker and designer. His designs are based on the fundamentals of geometry, smooth transitions and the concept of “golden proportion”. He is not afraid to experiment with new shapes and ideas to fit the unique style and production capabilities of the company he designs for.

Bestechman - a sub-brand of Bestech Knives, a company that produces knives of the highest global quality. Production is done on the same production lines as Bestech, so the highest standard of assembly is maintained.

D2 - 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.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) - the resistance of the surface of the wedge and cutting edge is enhanced by a vacuum deposition method used to deposit thin films by condensing an evaporated form of the desired material onto the surface of the workpiece. The coating method involves a purely physical process such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation followed by condensation. The applied coating has a very high hardness which significantly increases the resistance of the blade to rust and abrasive wear.

Blade - Clip Point type with a long cutting edge, PVD-coated. The hollow of the grain for contrast was coated with gray titanium-based coating. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high, 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 quick flipper flipper (index-finger flipper). When opened, the flipper forms a mini-guard to prevent the hand from slipping on the blade. On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest. The whole is locked with a solid Liner Lock.

Handle - made of G10, a composite fiberglass material compressed with synthetic resin. The aggressive texture of the grips provides a firm grip, even with wet hands. The cover's chamfered edges eliminate sharp edges for comfort, and the finger indentation made on the front improves ergonomics. The open-backed design attached with steel spacer sleeves reduces weight and makes cleaning easier. A two-position right/left deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up).
