The Bestech Ika Dagger Black Titanium/Purple Haze Fatcarbon, Black PVD M390 folding knife by Tashi Bharucha (BT2602F) is an exclusive variant of Tashi Bharucha’s integral folding knife design, combining a one-piece 6Al4V titanium frame with Purple Haze Fatcarbon inlays. The large M390 steel blade, black PVD coating, and refined mechanism details give this version a distinctly collectible character.
The Ika Dagger stands out primarily due to the way its handle is constructed. Instead of the classic arrangement of two separate grips, a milled, integral body has been used, forming a cohesive base for the entire knife. The Purple Haze Fatcarbon version further emphasizes this effect with striking, multi-layered inlays in vivid colors.
Böhler M390 61 HRC and Single-Edge Dagger Profile
The blade is made of M390 steel from Böhler, hardened to 61 HRC. The single-edged dagger profile combines an elongated blade line with a precisely shaped tip, creating a distinctive silhouette that complements the overall design.
Black PVD and Purple Haze Fatcarbon
The black PVD coating gives the blade and the titanium handle section a uniform, deep color. The Purple Haze Fatcarbon inlays provide contrast in the form of a multi-layered pattern with purple accents, giving the BT2602F variant a particularly distinctive collector’s appeal.
One-piece integral construction made of 6Al4V titanium
The integrally milled 6Al4V titanium body is the technical heart of the Ika Dagger. The one-piece handle base reduces the number of traditional structural joints and results in an exceptionally cohesive form. This manufacturing method requires more advanced machining than the traditional two-grip configuration, which is why integral constructions are particularly valued in the premium folding knife segment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for M390 steel?
After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. For long-term storage, you can apply a thin layer of knife preservative.
How do I sharpen the Single-Edge Dagger blade?
It is best to sharpen the smooth edge while maintaining a constant angle and even pressure. Work with particular precision near the tip to preserve its original geometry.
Why is the integral construction unique?
“Integral” means that the main body of the handle is machined as a single piece. Compared to a traditional two-piece construction with grip elements, this requires more advanced machining and results in an exceptionally cohesive, distinctive form.
How do I clean the Purple Haze Fatcarbon?
The inlays can be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For heavier soiling, you can use a mild detergent, then thoroughly dry the surface and the areas where it contacts the titanium body.
How to maintain the Ika Dagger mechanism?
The areas around the pivot and lock should be regularly cleaned of debris and dust. If necessary, you can apply a small amount of a light lubricant designed for folding knife mechanisms.
