Bestechman Cicada's Wing-TL Knife Jade G10, Black 10Cr15CoMoV (BMK24A)

Bestechman Cicada's Wing-TL Jade G10, Black 10Cr15CoMoV (BMK24A) Folding Knife

Bestechman Cicada's Wing-TL BMK24A is a lightweight EDC folder featuring a Sheepsfoot blade made of 10Cr15CoMoV steel, a Jade G10 handle, and a black blade finish. The model features a push-button Top Liner Lock, ceramic ball bearings, and thumb studs on both sides, combining ease of use with a compact, functional design.

With an overall length of 183.00 mm and a weight of 85.00 g, the Cicada’s Wing-TL remains a comfortable knife for everyday carry. The 80.00 mm long, 2.30 mm thick blade features a flat grind, and stainless steel spacer rings maintain the open handle design and facilitate access to the interior during cleaning.

10Cr15CoMoV – Steel for Everyday Use

The blade is made of 10Cr15CoMoV steel, hardened to 59–61 HRC. This material offers good corrosion resistance, adequate edge retention, and is relatively easy to sharpen, making it well-suited for an everyday folding knife. The slim, 2.30 mm-thick blade facilitates smooth cutting, and the Sheepsfoot profile provides a long, controlled cutting edge.

Sheepsfoot, flat grind, and Black Painted

The Sheepsfoot profile is characterized by a relatively straight cutting edge and a lowered tip, which facilitates controlled utility cuts. The flat grind improves the blade’s ability to cut through materials, and the factory Black Painted finish gives the blade a uniform, dark appearance.

Jade G10, Top Liner Lock, and Ceramic Ball Bearings

The handle is made of semi-translucent Jade-colored G10 and features an open-frame construction with stainless steel spacer sleeves. The Top Liner Lock is released with a button, so your fingers don’t have to get in the way of the folding blade’s path. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth opening via thumb studs on both sides.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the properties of 10Cr15CoMoV steel?

10Cr15CoMoV offers good corrosion resistance, decent edge retention, and is easier to sharpen than many more wear-resistant powder-metal steels. It’s a practical choice for an everyday carry (EDC) folding knife.

How do you sharpen the Cicada’s Wing-TL?

Good water stones, ceramic stones, or a sharpening guide system are sufficient for sharpening. With a hardness of 59–61 HRC, the steel shouldn’t pose any major difficulties during regular touch-ups.

How does the Top Liner Lock work?

The lock uses a spring-loaded liner but is released by a separate button located in the handle. This allows you to close the blade without putting your fingers in its path.

What are the benefits of ceramic bearings?

Ceramic Ball Bearings reduce resistance when opening and closing the blade. Thanks to them, the thumb studs operate smoothly despite the compact design.

What are the steel spacer sleeves for?

The sleeves maintain the proper spacing between the handle components and create an open design instead of a solid backspacer. This facilitates access to the knife’s interior during cleaning.
