Bestech Knives

The BT1712A Zen flipper is a small folding design from Bestech Knives. The shape and size make it almost disappear in your pocket while the action is so good you’ll definitely want to carry it every day. The 2″ drop point blade is made from CPM-S35VN stainless steel with a two-tone finish. The action riding on ceramic ball bearings is buttery smooth and the lockup is nice and tight. The ergonomic handle, backspacer with integral lanyard slot, and pocket clip are all made from 6AL4V titanium. The shape locks it into your hand and the jimped flipper tab ensures you will properly deploy the blade any and every time you want.

About CPM-S35VN Stainless Steel

CPM-S35VN is a martensitic stainless steel designed to offer improved toughness over CPM-S30V. It is also easier to machine and polish than CPM-S30V. Its chemistry has been rebalanced so that it forms some niobium carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides. Substituting niobium carbides for some of the vanadium carbides makes CPM-S35VN about 15-20% tougher than CPM S30V without any loss of wear resistance. CPM-S35VN’s improved toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. Because both vanadium and niobium carbides are harder and more effective than chromium carbides in providing wear resistance, the CPM stainless blade steels offer improved edge retention over conventional high chromium steels such as 440C and D2.
