The Bestech Taipan Purple/Black Titanium, Hand Rubbed Satin MagnaCut by James Lowe folding knife (BT2503H) is a striking variation on James Lowe’s design, combining a CPM MagnaCut steel blade with a titanium handle in a purple-black finish. The hand-satin-finished blade contrasts with the dark surface of the handle, and the hollow grind gives the design a distinctly utilitarian character.
The 94.70 mm blade features a Sheepsfoot profile and a smooth edge. The knife can be opened using the front flipper or the opening in the blade, and ceramic bearings ensure smooth operation of the mechanism. A titanium Frame Lock and a deep-carry clip complement the lightweight design, which weighs 107.50 g.
CPM MagnaCut 62–64 HRC
Crucible’s CPM MagnaCut steel has been hardened to 62–64 HRC. This high hardness is combined with a hollow grind, creating a geometry designed for precise and efficient cutting.
Sheepsfoot and Hand-Satin-Finished Blade
The Sheepsfoot profile provides excellent control over the edge and tip during tasks that require precise blade guidance. The hand-satin finish highlights the blade’s lines and provides a striking contrast to the purple-black titanium handle.
Purple/Black Titanium and Ceramic Bearings
The titanium handle combines a purple and black stonewashed finish with the material’s high rigidity. The front flipper and the hole in the blade provide two ways to open the knife manually, while ceramic bearings allow the blade to move smoothly around the steel pivot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for CPM MagnaCut steel?
The blade should be cleaned and dried regularly after use. For long-term storage, you can apply a thin layer of a suitable preservative.
How do you sharpen a Sheepsfoot blade?
It is best to sharpen the edge evenly at a consistent angle, maintaining its characteristic line. Near the tip, control the pressure so as not to alter the factory geometry.
How does the Frame Lock work?
A part of the titanium frame slides behind the blade base when the knife is opened and holds the blade in the working position. Pushing the locking element aside allows the knife to be folded.
How do you clean a titanium handle?
A soft cloth is sufficient for daily cleaning. For heavier soiling, you can use a small amount of mild detergent, then dry the handle thoroughly.
How do you maintain ceramic bearings?
Keep the pivot mechanism clean and free of debris buildup. If the blade requires lubrication, a small amount of a light-weight knife lubricant is sufficient.
