Bestech Marukka BT2002B – Full-Size M390 Folding Knife by KOMBOU
The Bestech Marukka BT2002B is a full-size folding knife designed by KOMBOU, pairing a 3.62" M390 black stonewash blade with a striking blue anodized titanium handle and frame lock. The contrast between the dark stonewash blade and the vivid blue titanium is the defining visual statement of the Marukka BT2002B — a knife that combines premium materials, a proven designer, and a bold aesthetic in one cohesive package.
Blade: 3.62" M390 Steel, Black Stonewash
The Bestech Marukka BT2002B blade is ground from M390 steel by Bohler-Uddeholm — one of the most respected premium stainless steels available, offering exceptional edge retention, strong corrosion resistance, and excellent response to sharpening. The black stonewash finish gives the blade a dark, non-reflective surface that hides everyday use marks and provides a powerful visual counterpoint to the blue titanium handle. At 3.8mm thick and 3.62" long, the blade is built for serious work.
Handle: Blue Anodized Titanium, Frame Lock
The handle of the Bestech Marukka BT2002B is machined from solid titanium with a blue anodization — an electrochemical oxide layer that produces the vivid blue color without paint or coating. Anodized titanium color is fused to the metal surface and cannot chip or peel, making it more durable than traditional finishes. The deep blue against the black stonewash blade creates one of the most visually striking contrast pairings in Bestech's lineup. The frame lock is integrated directly into the titanium body for strong, reliable one-handed lockup. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth, consistent deployment.
KOMBOU Design Lineage
The Bestech Marukka BT2002B was designed by KOMBOU (Grzegorz Grabarski), a Polish knife designer with a deep catalog of Bestech collaborations including the Mothus BT2206A and the Blind Fury BT2303F. KOMBOU's designs are characterized by clean lines, ergonomic proportions, and a preference for premium titanium construction. The Marukka sits at the larger end of his Bestech work — 8.66" overall — with the same emphasis on refined aesthetics and practical geometry that defines the rest of his lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What steel is in the Bestech Marukka BT2002B?
The Bestech Marukka BT2002B uses M390 blade steel by Bohler-Uddeholm — a premium powder metallurgy stainless steel prized for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and polishability. M390 is widely regarded as one of the best all-around high-end stainless steels for folding knives, and Bestech uses it across their flagship titanium series.
What makes the blue titanium on the Bestech Marukka BT2002B special?
The blue color on the Bestech Marukka BT2002B handle is achieved through titanium anodization — an electrochemical process that grows a precise oxide layer on the titanium surface. Different oxide thicknesses refract light to produce different colors, and the blue corresponds to a specific controlled depth. Unlike paint or coating, the color is part of the metal itself: it does not chip, peel, or scratch off under normal use. The vivid blue paired with the black stonewash M390 blade creates a high-contrast aesthetic that is one of the most visually distinctive combinations in Bestech's titanium lineup.
How does the Bestech Marukka BT2002B compare to the Bestech Mothus BT2206A?
Both the Bestech Marukka BT2002B and the Bestech Mothus BT2206A are KOMBOU-designed titanium frame lock knives with M390 blades. The Mothus BT2206A has a shorter 3.47" M390 satin blade with a blue titanium handle at 116g. The Marukka BT2002B features a longer 3.62" M390 black stonewash blade with blue titanium at 129g and a larger 8.66" overall length. Both share KOMBOU's clean design sensibility and blue titanium aesthetic — the Mothus is the compact carry option, the Marukka is the full-size workhorse.
How does the Bestech Marukka BT2002B compare to the Bestech Blind Fury BT2303F?
Both the Bestech Marukka BT2002B and the Bestech Blind Fury BT2303F are KOMBOU-designed M390 frame lock knives at similar blade lengths (3.62" each). The Blind Fury BT2303F features a black stonewash titanium handle with blue marble inlay at 114g. The Marukka BT2002B uses a clean blue anodized titanium handle with no inlay at 129g. If you prefer the marble inlay accent and the black handle aesthetic, the Blind Fury is the pick; if you want a pure blue titanium handle with maximum color saturation, the Marukka delivers.
