Bestech Excentric Knife Black Titanium, Bead Blasted M390 by Kombou and TNT Knives (BT2412A)

The Excentric Black Titanium, Bead Blasted is a work of applied art that combines engineering precision with premium aesthetics. Designed as a result of a collaboration between esteemed designer Gregory “Kombou” Grabarski and Toni Tietzel of TNT Knives, it is a perfect example of a modern approach to folding knives. The blade of impressive length is made of exceptional Böhler M390 steel, valued for its resistance to corrosion and retention of sharpness even under heavy use. The handle, made of milled titanium, not only impresses with its details, but also provides comfort thanks to its ergonomic shape. The subtly balanced weight makes the knife fit perfectly in the hand, guaranteeing full control. The folding mechanism works smoothly and without resistance, highlighting the reliability of the design. Excentric is an excellent choice for those who value functionality, durability and sublime elegance.

Grzegorz “Kombou” Grabarski - Polish graphic designer, photographer and talented designer, the main creator of knife designs at Bestech Knives. Known for his unconventional ideas, breaking the stereotypes of knife design. A long collaboration with Bestech has resulted in exquisitely crafted knives made of the best materials, with unique looks.

Toni Nikolas Tietzel - born in 1994, is the founder of TNT Knives, a German knife brand known for its unique, handmade blades. He discovered his passion for knifemaking at the age of 14, when he created his first knife. Since then, he has consistently developed his skills, striving for perfection in creating tools optimized for specific applications. His creations are characterized by expressive form and exceptional cutting properties, being the result of constant innovation. His pursuit of perfection and passion for combining creativity with technology make each knife from his workshop both a functional tool and a unique work of art.

M390 - 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- Wharnto type, (a mix of Wharncliffe and Tanto), with a striking Bead Blasted finish. The wide blade converges toward the needle-sharp tip of the knife. A mixed grind is used here, in the rear part is a high, hollow grind for cutting and precision work, the so-called Hollow Ground Primary Bevel. In the front part, we have a high, flat ground to strengthen the Flat Ground tip. To improve piercing capabilities, an unsharpened false blade is brought out in the upper part. Ball bearing ceramic supports the opening of the blade with a fast flipper flipper. When opened, the flipper forms a mini-guard to prevent the hand from slipping on the blade. The entire blade is locked with a modern Frame Lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face.

Handle - made of milled titanium 6AL4V, beveled edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges. The whole bolted to a solid backspacer, also made of titanium. The pivot axis is decorated with a bolster made of titanium in a contrasting color. A fore finger groove improves grip security. A single-position (right) titanium deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up (blade tip up) position.

Case - included zippered soft nylon case with manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
