Bestech Bruv Bronze Titanium/Ultem, Black Stonewashed M390 by Galovic Design knife (BT2401C)

Bruv Bronze Titanium/Ultem, Black Stonewashed is an exceptional example of modern, minimalist design. Its simple shapes are the result of a collaboration between renowned designer Michael Galovic and Bestech Knives. The ergonomic Handle provides comfort even for long hours of use. Made of titanium and ULTEM™ composite, which guarantees its strength and lightness. The blade is made of what is considered one of the best knife steel, Bohler M390, which is known for its strength and long sharpness retention. Frame Lock type lock ensures safety during use. A clip made of titanium makes the knife easy to carry. Bruv is a knife that combines modern design, functionality and top quality workmanship. An ideal choice for anyone who appreciates not only practicality, but also excellent design. Whether you plan to use it on a daily basis or treat it as a collection piece, this knife is sure to meet your expectations.

M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of “wire” during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), hardened between 59-61 HRC, vacuum and cryogenic treatment and double tempering. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - Sheepsfoot type with a scratch-masking finish bathed in fine Stonewashed pebbles and then black coated. The gentle curve of the cutting edge converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a fast front flipper (index-finger front flipper). A section of the blade's back 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 frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face.

ULTEM™ - a plastic belonging to the family of Polyethermoids or simply PEI. This material is characterized primarily by high mechanical and impact strength with a very high strength-to-weight ratio. It is also characterized by high thermal resistance (180⁰C) and high chemical resistance to all kinds of solvents (synthetic and natural), lubricants or other chemicals. Adding to this total insensitivity to weather conditions, we get an ideal material for knife handles.

Handle - the presentation side is made of polished, transparent Ultem™, a virtually indestructible material, insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The lock side is solid titanium 6AL4V. Chamfered cover edges eliminate sharp edges for comfort, and a fore finger groove improves grip security. The open-backed design fixed with steel spacer sleeves reduces weight and makes cleaning easier. Fore finger groove improves grip security. A single-position, right-handed titanium clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position, with the tip of the blade upward.

Case - the knife is packed in a zippered nylon soft pouch with the brand's logo for safe carrying and storage of the folder.
