Product Description
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 Read More

Just got mine and it's a good knife. Just that, a good knife, I really expected more for the price.
Is not "razor sharp" out of the box, and the grind mistakes are somewhat discouraging. I just hope We Knives make better things than this or I won't be buying any chinese knife in the future.
What do you guys think of your copy? Btw mine is 06/60

Mine says "1st Prod. 30/60". Overall it's a good knife, but some issues keep it from justifying the high price. I've handled some of the cheaper D2/G10 models and they seem better made, just with cheaper materials.
There's burrs on the backspacer jimping. The internal edges of the scales are not chamfered at the back of the knife (where they are widened for a lanyard) and they cut into my palm. There are other minor cosmetic issues. However the action is smooth and flawless and the grind is perfectly symmetric on mine.
There is one big problem... the carbon fiber inlay is loose on one side:
I loosened the screws and it just fell out. Does anybody know if these are supposed to be glued in? If so, what kind of glue? I may try some Black Max adhesive. I'll ask MD and Bestech for options first.
EDIT: I took the screws off the other scale and it appears the CF is supposed to be snugly press-fit. The loose side was cut about 1/2 mm too small. 😠

Thanks, I appreciate the reply! I did contact support a couple days ago and I'm waiting for a response. I want to keep the knife so I'm looking for a solution that lets me do that. I haven't contact Bestech yet, maybe they can just send out a part. I'm also waiting on the Tercel, curious to see that one. Probably should've waited before going for it, but couldn't help myself! Thanks again and great that you keep an eye on the forums.

awkI try, but the sheer volume of comments is a lot to keep up with on top of, ya know, makin the stuff and launchin the drops. But it's our lifeblood, so I try to make time every day if not a few times a week. Keep me posted on how this unfolds please.

Chipp1I've got one of the Armorhide/HX Outdoors versions, it might be my framelock with the best action, though the 0452 and Mantra 2 rock as well.

I hope this knife does not come with the word 'Predator' printed on the blade.
Are these blind marked like the photos here, or are they hussied up with gruesome nomenclature?

Support said they normally don't take returns of knives but will make an acception this time and I got a shipping label to send it back. I'm really disappointed with this one it's a really nice knife I just think my blade steel had some issues hopefully no one else had this problem.

Hi, I`ve bought about 100 knives in the past year...from Chris Reave to Chinese knock offs...always exciting to find a parcel in the mail. I hope to do more business with you too. :)

Damn it! it's so pretty! But I've bought too many knives.
Maybe if it comes around again.

The lines of this knife are gorgeous and badass all at once. And $50 off the standard going price is a pretty awesome deal, and we all know real deals in the knife world are just a tad more rare than unicorns. Had to jump on this one.

I saw KnifeCollector031's review and follow up on this knife. Seems very positive with a few concerns about fit and finish on the backspacer and around the screw holes. I was thinking of cancelling the Zugang in favor of this one but changed my mind, I think I'll get both.

wonbulKnifeCollector 031 told me the problems were superficial and that the knife is of high quality.

I cancelled the Zugang and joined this one instead, hope it's worth it. I like the overall look and blade shape, but I don't know anything about the brand.

I'm in again. I have to stop buying knives. I need to count but I bet I have a knife for every day of the year now, maybe even more.
