Specifications

Design & Materials

The KASTA BG45C steps up from the typical D2 steel found across most of the Bestech G10 series, using 154CM stainless steel instead. 154CM is a high-quality American stainless steel developed for demanding applications including cutlery and aerospace tooling. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, strong edge retention, and toughness — and it is significantly easier to sharpen and more rust-resistant than D2, making it an excellent choice for users who carry their knife in varied environments or want less maintenance.

The stonewash plus satin dual finish applies a stonewash texture to the blade flats for a rugged, wear-concealing appearance, while the satin-polished bevel highlights the blade geometry and makes sharpening progress easy to see. The black and red two-tone G10 handle scales deliver a bold visual contrast that reflects KOMBOU's design confidence. The titanium pocket clip completes the premium material story: lighter than steel and more corrosion-resistant, the titanium clip holds the knife securely in the pocket without unnecessary weight.

Liner Lock Mechanism

The KASTA BG45C's Liner Lock uses a sprung steel liner that automatically engages the blade tang when fully deployed, providing positive, rattle-free lockup. To close, press the liner aside with your thumb and fold the blade back into the handle.
