Hey everyone,
Here's a link to Outdoor Winner Industries, the parent company of Bestech Knives -- http://www.outdoorwinner.com/
TBH I didn't know a lot about them myself - only one dealer in the UK is carrying any of their models right now, AFAIK.
However, having handled a number of knives from Kizer, Reate, Rike, WE Knife I can tell you that these feel very much in the same category. Impressive machining, very comfortable, great action, nice hardware and anodization. I would say the blade is maybe a hair less sharp out of the box than the Reate and WE Knives I've handled, but a very functional blade shape where other Chinese Ti framelock folders may tend toward showy or tactical.
So that's what I know from my research and handling the knife, hope it helps.

Wyatt1911Agreed, I've seen most of them at SHOT or Blade, but those shows are full and not every new brand can (afford to) attend, especially from overseas. We get a fair number of inquiries and we turn many of them down. WE Knife was not very well known when we first began carrying them, although further along than Bestech.
JonasHeineman No.Thank you.It's just that you say do not know much about this manufacturer while in the description you say he enjoys ten years of knife making experience !
