The Bestechman Cicada's Wing-TL BMK24-W-1 is a lightweight EDC folder that combines the functional Sheepsfoot blade geometry with a more decorative handle made of wood and red resin. The model retains the series’ signature mechanics, including a Top Liner Lock with a release button, ceramic ball bearings in the cage, and thumb studs on both sides, making it practical for everyday use.
With an overall length of 183.00 mm and a weight of 76.00 g, the design is noticeably lightweight, and the 80.00 mm-long, 2.30 mm-thick blade is well-suited for EDC tasks. The red resin combined with natural wood gives the handle a unique look, while the black PVD coating on the blade creates a strong contrast and emphasizes the modern character of the entire knife.
10Cr15CoMoV – Stainless Steel for Everyday Use
The blade is made of 10Cr15CoMoV steel, hardened to 59–61 HRC. This material offers good corrosion resistance, reasonable edge retention, and is relatively easy to sharpen, making it well-suited for a knife intended for regular carry. Combined with the blade’s slim 2.30 mm thickness, it results in a geometry designed for efficient, controlled cutting.
Sheepsfoot, flat grind, and black PVD coating
The Sheepsfoot profile provides a long, predictable cutting edge and a lowered tip that facilitates control during precise tasks. The flat grind promotes smooth cutting through material, while the black PVD coating gives the blade a uniform, subdued appearance and provides an additional layer of surface protection. The whole knife complements the red-and-wood handle well.
Red Resin / Wood, Top Liner Lock, and Caged Ceramic Ball Bearings
The handle combines natural wood with red resin, so each knife may vary visually in terms of material pattern and grain. The construction is supported by black steel spacer sleeves, which replace a solid backspacer. The Top Liner Lock is released with a button, and the Caged Ceramic Ball Bearings ensure smooth operation of the blade, which opens via thumb studs on both sides.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the properties of 10Cr15CoMoV steel?
10Cr15CoMoV offers good corrosion resistance, moderate wear resistance, and is easy to sharpen. It is a practical steel for an EDC folding knife that is intended for regular use and does not require complicated maintenance.
How do you sharpen the Cicada’s Wing-TL?
For regular touch-ups, good ceramic or water stones, or a sharpening guide system, are sufficient. With a hardness of 59–61 HRC, the steel responds well to standard abrasives and does not require the exclusive use of diamond tools.
How does the Top Liner Lock work?
The lock uses a spring-loaded liner that holds the blade in the open position. It is released with a button, so the user does not have to push the liner aside directly with a finger.
What are the benefits of Caged Ceramic Ball Bearings?
Ceramic ball bearings housed in a cage reduce friction at the pivot point and support smooth blade opening. Combined with thumb studs on both sides, they ensure light and predictable operation of the mechanism.
How do you care for a wood and resin handle?
It is best to clean the handle with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid prolonged soaking. Wood and resin do not require intensive maintenance, but it is advisable to limit contact with harsh chemicals.
