The Bestech Taipan Dark Gray Titanium, Dark Bead Blast Stonewashed MagnaCut by James Lowe folding knife (BT2503F) is a premium folding knife designed by James Lowe, featuring a CPM MagnaCut steel blade and a titanium handle with a dark gray finish. The sleek design combines a hollow grind, a Frame Lock, and two methods of manual opening.
The 94.70 mm blade features a Sheepsfoot profile and a smooth edge. The dark, sandblasted, and stonewashed surfaces give the model a subdued, utilitarian character. Ceramic bearings ensure smooth blade movement, and the titanium clip allows for deep carry in a tip-up configuration.
CPM MagnaCut 62–64 HRC and hollow grind
The blade is made of CPM MagnaCut steel from Crucible, hardened to 62–64 HRC. The hollow grind provides effective edge geometry, promoting precise and controlled cutting.
Sheepsfoot and dark stonewashed finish
The Sheepsfoot profile features a long, functional cutting edge and a lowered tip, which makes it easier to control the blade during precision work. The dark finish, combining sandblasting with a stonewashed effect, emphasizes the technical character of the blade.
Titanium, Frame Lock, and two opening methods
The handle is made of titanium, which ensures high rigidity while keeping the overall weight low. The blade can be opened using the front flipper or the opening in the blade. The Frame Lock stabilizes the blade when deployed, and ceramic bearings ensure smooth operation of the mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for CPM MagnaCut steel?
After use, it’s a good idea to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. CPM MagnaCut is highly resistant to corrosion, but regularly removing moisture and dirt helps keep the surface and edge in good condition.
How do you sharpen a Sheepsfoot blade?
Guide the long portion of the edge along the sharpening tool at as consistent an angle as possible. Near the tip, reduce the pressure to avoid rounding off the blade’s characteristic profile.
How does the Frame Lock work?
When opened, a section of the titanium frame slides behind the base of the blade and secures it in the open position. To fold the knife, slide the locking element aside and carefully close the blade.
How do you clean the titanium handle?
You can wipe the handle with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and remove tougher dirt with a mild cleaning solution. After cleaning, be sure to thoroughly dry the areas around the pivot and the mechanism.
How do I maintain the pivot and ceramic bearings?
The area around the pivot should be regularly cleaned of dust and debris. If necessary, apply a small amount of a light lubricant designed for folding knife mechanisms.
