Bestech Ika Dagger Knife Black Titanium / GITD Marble Carbon Fiber, Black PVD M390 by Tashi Bharucha (BT2602D)

Bestech Ika Dagger Black Titanium/GITD Marble Carbon Fiber, Black PVD M390 by Tashi Bharucha – an exclusive 6Al4V titanium fixed blade

The Bestech Ika Dagger Black Titanium/GITD Marble Carbon Fiber, Black PVD M390 folding knife by Tashi Bharucha (BT2602D) is an exclusive collector’s folding knife designed by Tashi Bharucha, whose most distinctive feature is the integral handle construction. The main body was milled from 6Al4V titanium as a single, continuous piece, which clearly distinguishes the Ika Dagger from classic folding knives built from two separate grips.

The model combines a single-edged dagger-style blade made of M390 steel, a black PVD coating, and striking GITD Marble Carbon Fiber inlays. Ceramic bearings, a titanium pivot collar, and a refined integral Handle define the character of this knife, which should be regarded not only as a premium utility folder but also as a structurally advanced collector’s item.

M390 61 HRC and single-edged dagger-style blade

The blade is made of M390 steel from Böhler, hardened to 61 HRC. The single-edged dagger-style profile gives it a slender, visually symmetrical line with a distinctly defined tip, while the smooth edge remains functional for everyday tasks.

Black PVD and Exclusive GITD Marble Carbon Fiber

The black PVD coating on the blade harmonizes with the integral handle body, creating a cohesive, deep color scheme. Contrast is provided by the GITD Marble Carbon Fiber inlays with their distinctive marbled texture and luminescent properties, which further emphasize the collector’s appeal of this version.

Integrally milled 6Al4V titanium frame

The most important element of the Ika Dagger’s construction is the integral handle frame made of 6Al4V titanium. Instead of two separate grips, a one-piece base was used, which increases the structural integrity and achieves the distinctive, clean form typical of the most advanced premium folding knives. The Liner Lock has been integrated into this design without disrupting the Handle’s seamless silhouette.

Technical data

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 a knife-specific preservative.

How do you sharpen a single-edged dagger-type blade?

Guide the smooth edge along the sharpening tool at as constant an angle as possible. Pay special attention to the section near the tip to preserve its slender geometry.

What does an integral handle construction mean?

In an integral construction, the main body of the handle is machined as a single piece rather than two separate grips joined by a classic frame. The Ika Dagger uses 6Al4V titanium for this purpose, which gives the construction exceptional cohesion and an exclusive character.

How do you clean the GITD Marble Carbon Fiber?

The inlays can be wiped down with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For heavier soiling, use a mild cleaning solution, then thoroughly dry the surface and the area where it joins the titanium.

How to maintain the pivot and ceramic bearings?

The areas around the pivot should be regularly cleaned of dust and debris. If the pivot mechanism requires lubrication, a small amount of a light lubricant designed for folding knives is sufficient.
