Available on Massdrop before anywhere else, this first production run of the Bestech Knives 1706 is available in two distinct colorways and crafted from premium materials. It features a 3.7-inch modified tanto blade (like an icicle of sorts) that excels in piercing and slicing—and it takes a great edge thanks to its CPM-S35VN construction, which is arguably the best commercial blade steel on the market. Although the blade is impressive, the handle could be the standout. Made from a combination of titanium and carbon fiber, it’s sturdy, lightweight, and easy on the eyes. A built-in frame lock secures the blade, which opens via the flipper. The pocket clip, done in a similar shape to the blade, offers tip up carry for righties.
