Bestechman Lanza Knife Olive Wood, Damascus by Grzegorz Grabarski (BMK14-D-4)

Lanza Olive Wood, Damascus is the result of a collaboration with Polish designer Grzegorz Grabarski, known in the knife community as “Kombou”—a creator who blends inspirations from the worlds of sci-fi, architecture, and biomechanics into his designs. The model was created for users looking for an everyday knife with a gentleman’s EDC character, where functionality goes hand in hand with unique style. The handle made of natural olive wood gives the design a warm yet understated look. The Damascus stainless steel blade features excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, as well as the beautiful patterns characteristic of this steel. The acid-etched finish highlights the pattern of interlocking steel layers. The liner lock mechanism guarantees safe operation, while the front flipper opening on ball bearings ensures smooth action. Lanza is designed for those who value precise craftsmanship, elegance, and modern design, while also expecting full functionality in everyday use.

Damascus - a blade made of Damascus stainless steel with a unique pattern. Finished with acid etching to highlight the contrast of the patterns. The blade, composed of two different types of steel, is forged and layered in various ways to create this incredible pattern. It features high hardness in the range of 58–60 HRC.

Blade - the spear point profile ensures versatility—from precise cuts to standard EDC tasks. The symmetrical shape with a sharp tip and central cutting edge works well for both tasks requiring control and dynamic cuts. The flat grind ensures effective force transfer and easy penetration of materials. The acid-etched finish highlights the patterns of the interlocking steel layers. The blade spine features jimping, providing a secure thumb rest during precision tasks. The liner lock mechanism securely locks the blade in the open position, and the front flipper system, combined with ball bearings, enables fast and smooth one-handed opening.

Handle—made of natural olive wood—offers an excellent balance between durability and lightness. The textured surface improves grip, and the ergonomic shaping conforms to the hand, ensuring comfort during prolonged use. The deep carry clip, which can be moved to the other side, guarantees discreet carrying of the knife in your pocket. It is a design that combines minimalist aesthetics with functionality and durability.
