Bestechman Cicada's Wing-TL Knife Blue Resin, Satin 10Cr15CoMoV (BMK24-R-2)

Bestechman Cicada's Wing-TL Blue Resin Folding Knife, Satin 10Cr15CoMoV (BMK24-R-2)

The Bestechman Cicada's Wing-TL BMK24-R-2 is a slim EDC folder featuring a blue resin handle and a satin-finished Sheepsfoot blade. Its lightweight construction, push-button Top Liner Lock, and Caged Ceramic Ball Bearings ensure that this model effectively combines the simplicity of everyday use with smooth, modern mechanics.

The knife measures 183.00 mm when open, has an 80.00 mm blade, and weighs 76.00 g. The blade’s slim 2.30 mm thickness and flat grind facilitate efficient cutting, while thumb studs on both sides allow for comfortable opening from either side. Blue resin gives the handle a distinctive look without adding weight to the design.

10Cr15CoMoV – steel designed for user comfort

10Cr15CoMoV steel, with a hardness of 59–61 HRC, was selected for its practical EDC properties. It offers good corrosion resistance, reasonable edge retention, and is easier to sharpen than many more wear-resistant powdered steels. As a result, it performs well in a knife intended for regular use and quick restoration to full sharpness.

Sheepsfoot and Satin – Functional Geometry with a Classic Finish

The Sheepsfoot profile provides a well-controlled edge and a lowered tip, which aids in precise cutting control. The flat grind promotes good material penetration, while the satin finish accentuates the blade’s lines and gives it a more classic look. This configuration pairs well with the lightweight blue resin handle.

Blue Resin, Top Liner Lock, and Open Construction

The handle is made of blue resin and combined with gray stainless steel spacer sleeves. The open construction facilitates access to the interior during cleaning and helps keep the weight low. The push-button Top Liner Lock allows for convenient locking of the knife, while Caged Ceramic Ball Bearings ensure smooth operation of the double-sided thumb studs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel?

Yes, it offers good corrosion resistance and performs well in everyday use. It’s still a good idea to dry the blade after exposure to moisture and regularly remove dirt from the cutting edge.

What is the best way to sharpen this model?

Ceramic stones, water stones, or small sharpening guides work well for sharpening. Regular touch-ups allow you to quickly restore the edge without having to fully re-profile the blade.

How does the Top Liner Lock work?

The liner locks the blade in place when it’s opened, and the button releases it. This design allows you to close the knife without having to move the lock directly with your finger.

Can the clip be repositioned?

Yes, the steel clip can be mounted on the left or right side of the handle. In both configurations, the knife is carried in the Tip-Up position.

What are the benefits of a resin handle?

Resin provides a distinctive look while keeping the weight low. The material does not require waterproofing and is easy to keep clean during everyday use.
