Specifications

Design & Materials

The Bestech Shodan BT1910C's 3.86" S35VN blade is a workhorse steel favored by production knife enthusiasts for its excellent toughness, solid edge retention, and ease of sharpening in the field. The dual stone wash and satin finish gives the blade both visual depth and practical resilience — the stone washed flats resist scratches while the satin-finished edge bevel makes sharpness easy to evaluate at a glance.

The grey titanium handle provides a rigid, lightweight chassis while carbon fiber inlays reduce overall weight and add a sophisticated visual texture. Carbon fiber's distinct woven pattern catches the light differently from every angle, giving the Shodan a premium, tactile aesthetic that complements the grey titanium frame. At 124g, the Shodan carries with authority while remaining well-balanced in the hand.

Frame Lock Flipper Action

The Shodan's flipper tab extends from the rear of the blade, providing a positive, tactile surface to push against when deploying the knife. Combined with ceramic ball bearings in the pivot, the flipper delivers quick, positive deployment with a satisfying snap into the open position. The Frame Lock — machined directly from the titanium handle — provides solid, rattle-free lockup with no separate lock bar components to loosen over time.
