Literally just put in my order earlier today. I love the smoke tone handle, especially if it is true DLC, which it does look like it is. Not a thick black painted look.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to check it out, Kev! And glad you’re liking it so much 😎 Also, thanks for taking the studs off actually. A few people have asked if you could take them off and use it without them so it’s great you showed that off. The grey DLC finish is what I spec from Bestech. As to if it’s true “DLC” finish, I am going to look into it more. It’s definitely a costing of some type, not like a dark sand blasted finish. I know the same finish on the Calibers has held up really well over time and proven to be tough. Also about the jimping. I have noticed that the prototypes are manufactured in a slightly different manner in some small ways, and one is the jimping. The jimping always some out with a bit more bite on the production representative knives. Thanks again for checking it out! And feel free to drop any questions here if you want an answer, anyone!
Hell I’ve loved this hobby and community but over time I’ve just been priced out of buying from smaller companies when you can get a knife like the kizer hawk for 170$ TI S45VN and a detent that feels like a sharp by design. I hope the economy gets better but I’m sure thankful kizer and artisan are affordable
The look is so good. Do wish it was under 3" for Los Angeles knife laws. But they're doing nice designs! Just wish it had a Vosteed Corgi/Thunderbird type back flipper to go with that front.
Don't ask the world to accommodate your communist city's knife laws just because you want a normal sized knife. Maybe you should vote better next time, and you wouldn't have to put up with ridiculous laws.
Real Steel did it on that beefy knife. Forget the name. Golden design works did it on the Caliber first from what i remember. Its been 1.5 to 2 yrs. Real steels was this year. Blade Binge and Tristate did it as well this year
I'm sorry but they're ruining knives looks with all these deployments. Makes the knife look clutter. Like why have thumb studs in the hole, looks ugly. There are some deployments that don't look good together

Thank you so much for watching and following along. I have such a blast bringing new content to you and am always open to chatting, so feel free to reach out anytime!
-Kev
There are so many great new knives these days. It's a great tie to collect knives.
Nice! Made a Pre-Order. Gotta support a builder supplying a true total left-handed frame lock. Went with Smoke, Stone washed, Sky.
Lefty here and I totally agree
That is beautiful! Love the design and colors/textures
Literally just put in my order earlier today.
I love the smoke tone handle, especially if it is true DLC, which it does look like it is. Not a thick black painted look.
Absolutely beautiful. ❤
Thanks a lot for taking the time to check it out, Kev! And glad you’re liking it so much 😎
Also, thanks for taking the studs off actually. A few people have asked if you could take them off and use it without them so it’s great you showed that off.

What kind of warranty do your knives have?
I love his designs but can't wait for the next run on the caliber.
Hell I’ve loved this hobby and community but over time I’ve just been priced out of buying from smaller companies when you can get a knife like the kizer hawk for 170$ TI S45VN and a detent that feels like a sharp by design. I hope the economy gets better but I’m sure thankful kizer and artisan are affordable
I grabbed one of the Ltd versions in hand satin
This is one that's on the list. Gonna be a while before I can snag one.
Oh man. WANT. Blew through my allowance during all those holiday deals. though, so....
The look is so good. Do wish it was under 3" for Los Angeles knife laws. But they're doing nice designs! Just wish it had a Vosteed Corgi/Thunderbird type back flipper to go with that front.

Sick!
That looks like "Bestech DLC" from here. Would be nice if we could get confirmation from Bestech on which one it is
I had for some reason better hopes for this one. Cool, but not for me.
Appreciate the look around and thoughts Kev.
love the accent colors
What up Kev
That button is in the worst possible position.
Real steel put a button on a frame lock a long time ago
GDC did it first.
@fopdoodle777 G.T.C. is that what you mean? If not can you elaborate?
@@EugeneSmedlundsorry, meant GDW. This knife is their second model with the button framelock.
Real Steel did it on that beefy knife. Forget the name. Golden design works did it on the Caliber first from what i remember. Its been 1.5 to 2 yrs. Real steels was this year. Blade Binge and Tristate did it as well this year
I'm sorry I didn't mean real steel. I meant the guy who was the designer put one on one of his designs a long time ago
Sexy looking knife !!!!
That's not a swayback
Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Tom Segura
He's Tom Segura for us poors.
Yea. 😂
I'm sorry but they're ruining knives looks with all these deployments. Makes the knife look clutter. Like why have thumb studs in the hole, looks ugly. There are some deployments that don't look good together
No way. They are fire!
@kevinwilliams0214 Imo it doesn't look good. Like why add thumb studs on a thumb hole, no need. It should be two deployment max.
I usually agree about studs and hole. This one works for me though
@@AlmightyAnt300 my ad20.5 has studs and hole and I enjoy using both and I think it looks great as well.
@@kevinwilliams0214 I mean it depends how it's done. But on this knife it looks hideous. All I need is a thumb hole and front flipper.
