Bestech Cetus knife, black

When renowned knifemaker Jakub Sliž, working under the name Poltergeist Works, joins forces with the manufacturing capabilities of Bestech Knives, the result is something truly special. The Cetus Black folding knife is a clear example of this collaboration and combines bold, recognizable design with premium materials aimed at demanding users. The handle skillfully blends the strength of titanium with tactile black Micarta. The titanium frame provides structural rigidity, while the Micarta scales ensure a secure grip and a stylish appearance. The ergonomics of the 129 mm handle are carefully designed for comfortable use. The blade is 100 mm long and 3.8 mm thick and is made from one of the finest modern powder steels, Böhler M390. The steel is hardened to 59–61 HRC, ensuring excellent edge retention and high corrosion resistance. The blade’s expressive appearance is achieved through a combined finish, featuring black PVD coating on the bevels and a satin finish on the flats. The design by Poltergeist Works and the use of premium materials give the knife a custom-like feel while remaining a high-quality production model. The knife opens using a convenient ambidextrous thumb disc on the spine, and the blade is locked in the open position by a reliable Bar Lock mechanism, an analogue of the Axis Lock. Cetus Black confidently belongs to the category of collectible folding knives and combines author-driven design with modern technology. The overall length of the knife when open is 229 mm, and the weight is 176 g. The knife is equipped with a pocket clip for convenient carry. For those looking for a high-quality knife that combines unique style with strong performance, Bestech Cetus is an excellent choice.
